Arabian Peninsula. 1963

UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY and the ARABIAN AMERICAN OIL COMPANY. Arabian Peninsula. Miscellaneous Geologic Investigations. Map I-270 B-2. Washington DC: Department of the Interior, United States Geological Survey and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, 1963.



Second, updated edition of the base map used in all future geological maps of the Arabian peninsula. This map is the revised version of the previous lot, map I-270 B-1 published in 1958; and the greater topographic detail, including areas under cultivation, and depiction of infrastructure such as roads, pipelines, and increased geographical areas of oil fields stand in stark contrast to its earlier edition. It is a testament to the speed of growth and development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in only 5 short years. This is the English edition of the USGS-Aramco joint venture base map.



Large folding chromolithographic wall map, the Arabian peninsula shown with topographic relief, and with water pipelines, oases, oil fields, oil pipelines, ports and harbours, oil wells, natural gas fields, quarries and mines, key to lower left, Saudi Arabia’s northern borders delineated, title in cartouche to lower-right in Arabian Sea with scale 1:2,000,000, title and all toponyms in English, 1220 x 1380mm.
