The Island of Krk topographic map presents a combination of road, topographic, cultural and recreational information. These "hybrid maps" are popular with people who work and play outdoors in rural areas.

The island of Krk belongs to the Kvarner group of islands located in the northern Adriatic between the Istrian peninsula to the west and the Croatian Littoral to the east. It is surrounded by the Vinodol Channel to the east, the Bay of Rijeka to the northwest and Kvarner to the southwest. Until 1993, Krk was considered the largest Adriatic island. At the beginning of that year, the Geodetic Institute of Rijeka obtained information using modern computer measurements that the islands of Krk and Cres were completely identical in area, which caused a sensation in the public because Krk was considered larger than Cres by about 5 km², and because it seemed incredible that two neighboring islands had a completely identical area.

The reason why the areas of these two islands have been incorrectly displayed for decades is that their areas were first and last measured in 1823, and since then the data has only been copied. However, given that the level of the Adriatic Sea is gradually rising, and the coasts of the island of Cres are steeper than those of Krk, it is to be expected that Cres will become the largest island in the Adriatic in the near future.
