No Binding. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. A set of four adjoining US Army K462 Series colour printed maps, including the very significant Western Persian Gulf sheet. Each approx 85x100cm, adapted from Aramco-USGS originals. All stated first editions, first printings dated Feb 1964 (Edition 1-AMS). Good overall. Neatly folded with pinholes to some corners and edges, some wear along folds, occasional small areas of staining, and the original USGS map numbers in ms to the edges. The originals were prepared as part of the groundbreaking USGS-Aramco mapping exercise for the Saudi Government during 1956-63. One of its main products was a series of Geographic maps divided into 21 Quadrangles on a 1/500K scale, numbered I-200B to I-220B. These along with their geological equivalents were designed to support exploration and exploitation of petroleum, minerals, and groundwater. Evidenced by this set, the Geographic series also proved highly valuable to the US Army's Corps of Engineers, which was supporting Saudi Arabia through a massive long-term construction and infrastructure development programme. The AMS additions include a Universal Transverse Mercator grid, and marginal data revised to 1963. The maps are labelled in English and Arabic, including a Glossary, sources of base compilation, and Index Map. Details include international boundaries (where they exist), settlements of various sizes (including ruins, date gardens, and cultivated areas); transport (rail and stations, types of road and camel tracks, landing fields and airports). Hydrogaphic features include wells, wadis etc. Hypsographic features include descriptions of different types of sand terrain. Miscellaneous features include oil and gas installations. The sheets adjoin in 2 rows of 2, between them covering the area bounded by Safaniyah (NW), Gezdan (NE), Uruq (SE), and Al Arawik (SW), taking in all of Qatar and Bahrain, parts of Saudi Arabia and Iran, and parts of what would become the UAE. SHEETS: (1) NG 39-W: Western Persian Gulf, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar. Copied from Map I-208B originally prepared in 1958 by a joint Aramco-USGS team including Max Steineke, TF Harriss, KR Parsons, and EL Berg. This covers the Gulf coast from Safaniyah to the western half of Qatar, including all of Bahrain, and the key Aramco locations including Al Khobar, Dhahran, Dammam, Jubail, Ras Tanura, Abqaiq, etc. Installations include the Trans-Arabian Pipeline with Tapline Road and the Al Qatif-Al Qaysumah Pipeline that feeds into it, with the Saudi Government Railroad to the lower edge. Among significant local sites are the port of Uqair, Hofuf Oasis, and the Darb Al Uqayr connecting them, and other ancient camel trails including Darb Huwwijan, Darb Mazalij, Darb Mikhyat, and Darb Az Zuayyini. Installations and settlements are also shown in Bahrain and Qatar, with partially defined maritime boundaries. // (2) NG 39-E: Central Persian Gulf, Arabia, Iran. Copied from Map I-209B originally prepared in 1959 by Aramco's Richard Bramkamp and Leon Ramirez. Extending eastward from NG 39-W, this covers the Arabian coast from the eastern half of Qatar to Ar Ruways, and the Iranian coast from the islands of Jabrin to Jazireh-ye Qeys. // (3) NF 39-W: Northwestern Rub al Khali, Saudi Arabia. Copied from Map I-213B originally prepared in 1959 by Bramkamp and Ramirez. This is the continuation inland of NG 39-W. // (4) NF 39-E: Northeastern Rub al Khali, Saudi Arabia. Copied from Map I-214B originally prepared in 1959 by Bramkamp and Ramirez. Extending westward from NF 39-W and southwards from NG 39-E. …

In the 1930's an ethnological researcher named Dr. Elsie Clews Parsons received a letter from an anonymous Native American offering, under rather mysterious circumstances, to offer her a series of paintings and sketches of the lives, customs, costumes, and rituals of the Pueblo peoples, in an effort to assist with the factual accuracy of her researches and subsequent publications. Dr. Parsons accepted, and began a back and forth correspondence with the individual, whom she named "Felipe" for a number of years. This volume gathers together the Isleta paintings together in context for the first time, providing a valuable eyewitness insight into the daily lives and special occasions of the Pueblo peoples.…
