A printed map of the Hejaz Railway from Damascus to Mekka [Mecca]. The map is a copy of an original that was produced by Hajji Mukhtar Bey [Ḥājjī Mukhtār Beg], Technical Adviser of the Hejaz Railway, and compiled by Captain (Artillery) Eumer Zekki [‘Umar Zakī] and Lieutenant Hassan Muin [Ḥasan Mu‘īn], in the Printing Works of the Ottoman Ministry of Marine.
As well as showing the railway (in various different stages of construction and planning), the map also shows ordinary roads and rivers and has some limited indication of relief. On three sides of the main map, elevations of the main settlements along the route (between Damascus and Jeddah) are shown.
The map was published by the Intelligence Division of the War Office and produced by the Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton in 1904.
