His fine maps are distinguished by the trademark decorative borders, vignettes and title displays. Rapkin worked in close association with the equally respected publisher John Tallis. The publishing rights of many of the maps passed to The London Printing and Publishing Company circa 1850.

Features include planned switch / trunk groups (notably the large planned network for Yanbu), and switches for "SAG" (perhaps an abbreviation for Saudi Arabian Govt), Aramco, Sceco and Tapline, need for long distance calls. Notes indicate current limitations and workarounds. Eg. "Presently 2 directory numbers from Dhahran 2 are working in Jeddah SG-1 and can be accessed from Dhahran via Operator". "Presently 1 trunk (one way) from Yanbu NGL to Dhahran is working as temporary trunk".…
