Description (What the record is about)
-
'Eastern Turkey in Asia, Syria and Western Persia [now Iran]': map showing mountains, defiles, rivers, lakes, swamps, seas, wadis, ancient canals (dry), the Jordan Depression, towns, villages, castles, bridges, principal routes, railways, telegraphs and boundaries. Reference tables. Conical projection with standard parallels 32° and 40° (to nearest degree). Published by the Royal Geographical Society 1910. Railways inserted to November 1915. Stamped by the Committee of Imperial Defence June 1916. Coloured MS additions show British, French and Russian spheres of influence; the east end of the border between the spheres of the British and French is marked as 'Not yet definitively decided'. A printed note reads 'N.B. The Turco-Persian Frontier has not been delimited, and is only drawn approximately.' Apparently originally illustrating paper no 5, an appreciation of the Turco-Arab situation on 25 Oct 1916, which does not appear to have survived.
