The Farsi Map of Iran, 1930  is a remarkable historical artifact that provides a detailed representation of Iran during the early 20th century. Created during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi, this map reflects the geopolitical, administrative, and cultural landscape of a country undergoing significant modernization and reform.

The map highlights the territorial divisions of Iran’s provinces, known as ostans, as they were structured in 1930. Key cities, towns, and villages are clearly marked, with Tehran, the capital, prominently featured as the administrative and political center. Other major cities such as Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz, and Mashhad are identified, showcasing their roles as regional hubs of culture, commerce, and governance.

Rendered in Farsi, the map reflects the linguistic and cultural identity of Iran. Labels for provinces, cities, and natural features are written in the Persian script, providing a uniquely Iranian perspective. Decorative elements, such as traditional motifs or calligraphic embellishments, may adorn the title cartouche or border, adding aesthetic appeal.

The map is both functional and artistic, with clear delineations of provincial borders and transportation routes, including early railways and major trade roads, which were expanding under Reza Shah’s modernization policies.

The map captures Iran at a pivotal moment in its history. Reza Shah’s reign (1925–1941) was marked by efforts to centralize power, modernize infrastructure, and promote national identity. These reforms included the establishment of a unified provincial administration, the construction of new transportation networks, and the standardization of maps and geographic documentation.
