Maps by International Mapping

Many locations shown on the maps represent the known ruins of the sites and may not correspond to modern city locations with the same name.

Routes, roads, and regions indicated on the maps are approximate. Buildings, and placement of them in city maps, are representative and approximations of actual locations.

Maps focusing on the Israel/Palestine/Lebanon area were created on an Albers Conic Equal-Area Projection with a central meridian of 35E and standard parallel at 33N. The lines of latitude are curved and bend northward at the edges of the subject area.

Maps showing areas outside of Israel were created on an Albers Conic Equal-Area Projection with a central meridian of 40E and standard parallels at 25N and 45N. The lines of latitude are curved and bend northward at the edges of the subject area.

Because of these more correct spatial representations and projections, relative locations on maps in this volume may appear slightly different than on maps in other sources.
