Item description from seller

Colour printed map prepared from NASA Land Satellite (Landsat) imagery with geologic overlay, 1/500K, 107x134cm, English and Arabic text, folded in its original buff printed envelope 24x30cm. Map near fine with some crinkling. Envelope good, creased with short closed tears, and the name of the previous owner, British Arabist and diplomat C.S.M. (Craig) Shelton, handwritten to the front. This covers the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden coasts up to Wadi Najran (N) and the Rub al Khali (NE) in the interior, with the partially defined borders drawn in for PDR or South Yemen (named here as Yemen (Aden)) and Saudi Arabia. There are labels for major settlements, Wadis, and Jabals, with routes drawn in. There is a Geological Explanation, and a list of references. An Index Map shows the location and dates of Landsat images used in its compilation, all taken during 1972-73. The geologic interpretation was field checked in June and July 1975, and February 1976. This and the corresponding Geographic Map (I-1143-A) were prepared to support USAID's development project planning and implementation. The work was done in cooperation with Yemeni authorities including the Central Planning and Organisation, the Ministries of Economy and Agriculture, and the Mineral Petroleum Authority. Their publication dates around the time of the build-up in hostilities that led to the Second Yemenite War.…
