The political borders shown on the map are vague, except for the eastern border of Egypt and the Iranian and Russian frontiers. The map was issued at the end of World War I, before the division of Ottoman territories by the League of Nations. Armenia is shown to cover a large portion of Asia Minor. The Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Persian Gulf is marked as “Pirate Coast.” The present-day states of the Persian Gulf states are labeled “East India Co (Brit).” Railroad routes, both actual and proposed, roads, and tracks are marked.

It was published by Geographia, a British firm that issued numerous war maps between 1914 and
