Three maps on one sheet focusing on Turkish possessions in the Middle East. The main map is centred on Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and Iran.
The map focuses on the political borders of the region pre World War I. The west coast of Arabia was nominally under Ottoman Empire control (although in practice that meant Egyptian control), Oman controlled the coast and entrance to the Gulf, and Kuwait was a neutral zone. The interior of Arabia was divided into lands such as El Nejd, Jebel Shomar, and Hadramaut outside of Ottoman control. Three smaller maps showing Cyprus, Aden, and Egypt represent British interests in the region.
