Time zone maps are some of the most readily available maps in the world - found in almanacs, dictionaries, travel guides, and phone books - but they rarely agree in content. The World Factbook's Standard Time Zones of the World map has a reputation for accuracy that makes it one of the most widely used and reproduced time zone maps in the world. The map may be found under the References tab>Regional and World Maps>Standard Time Zones of the World.
