The Central Map of Tehran (1958), produced by the Sahab Geographic and Drafting Institute, represents a detailed and modern cartographic depiction of Iran’s capital during a period of rapid urban transformation. Created at a time when Tehran was expanding both demographically and spatially, the map reflects the city’s transition from a traditional urban center into a modern metropolis.

The composition is structured with a clear and functional layout, emphasizing the central districts of Tehran. Streets are rendered in a dense and highly organized network, highlighting major avenues, secondary roads, and smaller lanes. Prominent thoroughfares are often distinguished through heavier line work, guiding the viewer through the city’s circulation system. Key squares and intersections serve as focal points, illustrating the planned aspects of mid-twentieth-century urban development.

Important public buildings and institutions are marked throughout the map, including governmental offices, cultural centers, and transportation hubs. These elements underscore Tehran’s role as the political and administrative heart of Iran. Parks and open spaces are also indicated, providing contrast to the dense urban fabric and reflecting modern planning concerns with livability and public amenities.

The map likely incorporates both Persian script and transliterated names, making it accessible to a broader audience, including officials, travelers, and businesses. A legend or index may accompany the layout, aiding in navigation and interpretation.

Stylistically, the work is more restrained than earlier decorative maps, prioritizing clarity, precision, and usability. The design reflects mid-twentieth-century cartographic standards, where accuracy and readability take precedence over ornamentation.
