Item description from seller

Colour map 75x66cm, approx 1cm to 333 metres. Good, folded with small holes at intersections and closed tears, with previous owner's name and Baghdad address neatly handwritten to the lower margin (Dr Al-Haidar / Shari al-Nidhal 57J/21 / Karradat). This is undated, but Worldcat records editions during 1957-65. Based on another edition seen ("Baghdad City Bus Map") which centres on Baghdad City itself, this appears to be one of the later ones, less decorative, with greatly expanded coverage on a larger sheet to capture the rapid new urban expansions, and far more bus routes. The area is bounded by Al-Shaab (N), New Baghdad (E), Al-Dora (S), and Al-Mansour which started to develop in the early 1950s (W). Al Dora shown largely undeveloped except for the refinery, would develop in the 1960s when Assyrians from Habbaniya began to settle here. Major developments include Baghdad University (founded 1957). Features include public places, bund, numbered bus routes and their termini, roads and squares, and railways, with important buildings shown pictorially. The verso has a table of 60 bus routes, giving the number, route, length, and districts.…
