Item description from seller

Colour printed paper map 87x108cm, labelled in the Cyrillic alphabet, compiled in 1972, prepared for publication in 1973, and issued in 1974. Good, loosely folded, lightly creased. The Arabian side has all 7 Emirates and Muscat, and key inland locations including Buraimi, Liwa Oasis and Fahud. The Persian side goes inland to Bam. Features include settlements defined by number of inhabitants, the railway, various types of road, caravan routes or pack trails, airstrips, and several types of physical features. Two key diagrams locate each sheet, and demarcate administrative divisions. The series that this is from (not mentioned in Davies and Kent) is different to the International Map of the World-compliant quadrangle series on the same scale, which produced much smaller sheets spanning 4 degrees latitude by 6 degrees longitude. This was however issued as part of the major Soviet global mapping programme during 1950-90 (the "Red Atlas"). Sheets comply with International Map of the World standards, with each quadrangle on a 1/1M identified by lettered bands and numbered zones. Sources are not named, but for the wider series included a mix of existing maps and guidebooks, the Zenit Satellite Programme from the 1960s, and "boots on the ground". (Reference: Davies & Kent, The Red Atlas, 2017).…
