- Map of the Aden Frontier
- Scope & Content:
-
This map depicts the contested frontier between Yemen and the Aden Protectorate, subject of the Aden Boundary Commission between the Turkish [Ottoman] authorities in Yemen and the Government of India. The map, drawn up by the British Commissioner, Colonel Robert Alexander Wahab, depicts the boundary proposed by the British Government in green, the boundary proposed by the Turkish Government in blue, and the frontiers of the territory claimed by the Amir Dthala [Emir of Dhala], excluding Shaibi territory, in red. The map demarcates areas of tribal territory and shows settlements, roads or pathways, wadis, and the sites of topographical prominence, giving their height in feet.
A note details the additions made by Turkish commissioners on 'maps signed by the Commissioners' and gives brief further details on the information used to create this map.
The map contains Wahab’s printed signature, and includes the following printing statements: 'I[ntelligence].D[ivision].W[ar].O[ffice]. No. 1688.' and 'Litho[graphe]d. at the Intell: Div:, War Office, Jan. 1903.'.
