Hand drawn map of an area in the Middle East, 1916 Oct. 25

Physical Details: Drawing : 2 sheet : ink ; 33 x 41 cm.

Creator: Harold Weston (1894-1972), artist

Description: Map covers two sheets of paper, which, when laid side by side, show an area in the Middle East (most likely in Turkey).
Weston seems to have been concerned primarily with the water in the area, carefully labeling all the marshes, canals and rivers (including the Tigris river) and adding notes such as "flat open plain, liable to inundation."
