This map offers a snapshot of the Middle East during the late 1950s, capturing a period marked by significant transformations and tumultuous events.

Encompassing the entirety of the Middle East, from the northern reaches of Turkey to the southern territories of Yemen, and spanning from the western expanse of Morocco to the eastern boundaries of Iran, the map intricately depicts the region's geographical characteristics, including mountains, rivers, and lakes. It also meticulously delineates political borders and major urban centers. 

One noteworthy aspect of the map is its inclusion of historical and archaeological landmarks, showcasing revered sites like the ancient ruins of Babylon and Nineveh in Iraq and the iconic pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Consequently, this map serves as an invaluable resource for historians, geographers, and individuals with a keen interest in exploring the rich history and diverse cultures of the Middle East.
