Beschreibung

Colour printed paper map 71x58cm, labelled in the Cyrillic alphabet, compiled in 1980, published in 1981. Very good, folded, lightly creased. This shows the stretch of coast from Salalah to just beyond Duqm, inland to Mughshin and the desert beyond. Features include boundaries, settlements defined by number of inhabitants, highways, dirt roads, caravan routes and pack trails, under construction, airstrips, naval bases, seaports, harbours, sea routes, contour lines and spot heights, and numerous natural features. 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".
