Portrays hydrology, relief by spot heights and hachures, roads and tracks, railways, submarine telegraph lines, settlements, place names and international boundaries. Various blocks of overprinted colour shading correspond to French, British, Italian, Russian and International spheres of influence, including provision for an independent Arab state within the French and British spheres.
