Compiled and printed by the Survey of Palestine in 1945/46 and reprinted in Israel in 1949. The large scale (1:10,000), allows for close details down to building level. Aside from the roads the maps show sites of public interest such as schools, churches, synagogues, mosques, recreational areas (tennis courts, cinemas, etc.) and important buildings. The maps are in an exceptional state. No foxing, only very little yellowing and no tears.Size: 40 X 62cm (19.7 X 23.6 inches)
