Vilayet divisions are given in red, roads and rail transportation ways are indicated in detail. A separate inset shows the Hejaz Railway with tracks running as far south as Medina and various projected but never-realized extensions southwards to Mecca. - Traces of one old vertical and three horizontal folds; light brownstaining at centre and lower edge. A rare survival.
