Item description from seller

Colour printed map 81x105cm, folded in its original buff printed envelope 24x30cm. Map fine, envelope very good, with previous owner's details neatly handwritten to the front. This sheet includes the Saudi-Iraq border, part of the Neutral Zone, the Trans-Arabian Pipeline (Tapline) and Tapline Road, and ancient tracks including Darb Al Jaludiyah, Darb al Khaif, and Mecca pilgrimage roads including Darb Zubaydah and Darb al Hajj. The mapmakers both worked for Aramco. This was a product of the groundbreaking mapping project USGS conducted for the Saudi Government with Aramco during 1956-63. This mapped Saudi Arabia in 21 Quadrangles on a 1/500K scale with one series for geology (I-200A to I-220A) and another for geography (I-200B to I-220B). It involved some of the most eminent geologists of the day, among them Glen Brown (USGS), Richard Bramkamp and Max Steineke (Aramco's early pioneers). The work provided the foundation for the Saudi Arabian Mineral Exploration Project launched in 1963, coordinated by Brown from Jeddah. Titled and captioned with Glossary and compilation sources in English and Arabic, features include settlements (including forts, ruins, cultivated areas, date gardens). Transport covers from roads to camel trails, rail and landing fields. Hydrographic features include wells, drilled water wells, wadis etc. Hypsographic features include types of sand, terrain, sabhkah, silt flats etc. Miscellaneous features include oil pipelines and pumping stations, and ruins.
