Beschreibung

Colour printed paper map 70x58cm, labelled in the Cyrillic alphabet, compiled and printed 1982. Very good, folded, lightly creased. This shows Medina and Yanbu el Bahr towards the southern edge, going beyond El Wajh on the Red Sea coast. Features include settlements defined by number of inhabitants, the "inactive" Hejaz Railway with stations named, various types of road, caravan routes or pack trails, airstrips, desert features, forts, farms, sea routes, depths, etc. Two key diagrams locate each sheet, and demarcate administrative divisions. This was issued as part of the major global mapping programme by the Military Topographic Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR, during 1950-90. Maps comply with International Map of the World standards, with each quadrangle on a 1:1,000,000 scale 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".
