In the year 1957, the "General Map of Iran with Complete Details" authored by Abbas Shab was unveiled. A hallmark of this map is its remarkable granularity, vividly capturing an array of pivotal elements such as thoroughfares, railways, urban centers, municipalities, villages, waterways, mountain ranges, and other defining features.

This map, known for its impressive scale and meticulous detailing, provided a comprehensive view of Iran's topography, including various elements such as roads, railways, cities, towns, villages, rivers, mountains, and more. It was a valuable resource not only for the general public but also for the Iranian military, government officials, and businesses.

Over the years, the map assumed an indispensable role for a diverse array of users, from the Iranian military and government officials to commercial enterprises. Remarkably, its relevance persists, as it remains an invaluable asset for scholars and researchers delving into Iran's historical and geographic tapestry.

Abbas Shab (also known as 'Abbas Shub') was a renowned Persian cartographer known for his contributions to mapping and geography. He was associated with the Iranian government, and his work has left a lasting impact on the representation of Iran's geographic features. While I don't have detailed information about him beyond what was available until my last knowledge update in September 2021, I can provide a general overview based on that information.

The level of accuracy and detail in Abbas Shab's map made it highly regarded among cartographers and geographers. It is often considered one of the most precise and comprehensive maps of Iran ever produced. The inclusion of a glossary of Persian terms and a table of distances between major cities added to the map's utility and accessibility.

Abbas Shab's work continues to be of significance for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in studying the geography and history of Iran. The map he created remains an essential resource for those who seek to understand the complex landscape of Iran.
