Large original colour-printed map of the Arabian Peninsula (87.5 x 90.5 cm) folding between publishers' original pictorial covers, verso printed with descriptive text concerning all countries mentioned in the title. A few small splits along folds, generally a very good example. The map pays particular attention to oil fields (naming them) and illustrating oil pipelines, including underwater pipelines. The map labels the Gulf the "Arabian Gulf" and favours Emirati maritime claims. In the Strait of Hormuz, the U.A.E. is shown owning the islands "Bani Tanb" and "Tanb-e bozorg". The map records some of the contentious borders within the region, including the Iraq-Saudi Neutral Zone, the Kuwaiti-Saudi Neutral Zone, the Kuwaiti-Iranian maritime border (with the Esfandiar oilfield in the centre), and Saudi Arabia's undetermined southern border. The United Arab Emirates borders Qatar, this technically changed in 1974, but was not made public until 1995. The Saudi ArabiaUnited Arab Emirates border dispute was apparently resolved with the Treaty of Jeddah, which was signed at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on 21 August 1974. The provisions of the treaty were not publicly disclosed until 1995, when it was lodged with the United Nations. However, the United Arab Emirates never ratified the agreement. The map also shows the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, a Soviet satellite state the existed from 1970-1990.
