Covers the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Aden and Red Sea, including hinterlands to a width of approximately 150 miles beyond which detail diminishes. Comprises a base map, overprint and manuscript additions.
The base map is produced from British Admiralty Chart No. 748B titled 'Indian Ocean - Northern Portion' dated 15 November 1918 and filed at Maps B.A.C. (748B.). Portrays marine hydrology, including sands, rocks and depths by soundings, inland hydrology, relief by hachures and spot heights, railways, roads and tracks, settlements and place names.

Manuscript additions relate to the sea line and also accentuate the coastline.
The verso bears the annotation 'Arabia'.
