🌍 Middle East Wall Map – National Geographic
Scale 1:6,700,000 | Published September 1978 | Historical & Political Context

Published in September 1978 by National Geographic, this Middle East Wall Map offers a detailed geographic and political snapshot of the region at a crucial moment in modern history.

When the map was created, Israel had occupied the West Bank, Sinai Peninsula, and Golan Heights for over a decade following the Six-Day War of 1967. Just six months after its publication, the Israel–Egypt Peace Treaty was signed, marking Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula and the evacuation of settlements established there in the 1970s.

This map was originally issued as a companion to National Geographic’s historical map "Early Civilizations in the Middle East", combining the publisher’s cartographic precision with the political realities of the time. Today, it stands as both a historical record and a collectible reference for students of Middle Eastern history.
