- Notes:
- This map, published by the Arab Information Center, deemphasizes the Middle Eastern military situation. "Military Bases" are shown by small circles, but most of the map is covered by peaceful pictures: palm trees and the symbols for "Major petroleum sources," "Oil Pipe-Lines," "Important Historic Sites," "Important Holy Places," and the production of minerals and agricultural products. Israel is labeled "Israeli-occupied Territory of Palestine."
The date is estimated based on the label of Syria as "UAR (Syrian Region)," given that the UAR was formed 1958, and Syria seceded in 1961.
The Collection includes a number of maps related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Search > "israel* AND palest*".
