Scale 1:506,880 | Published 1963 | Historical & Cultural Detail
Published in December 1963 by National Geographic, the Holy Land Today Wall Map is a richly detailed and historically significant cartographic work. Created to accompany the magazine articles "Crusader Road to Jerusalem" and "Conquest of the Holy City", this map blends geographic accuracy with layers of religious and historical context.
It presents the Holy Land in crisp political and physical detail, enriched with abundant historical notes that illuminate the region’s past. An inset map of the Middle East traces the routes of the Crusades, while a map of the Walled City of Jerusalem highlights the fourteen stations marking the Via Dolorosa — the path from Pilate’s hall to Calvary.
Ideal for collectors, educators, and those with a deep interest in religious history, this map is both a work of cartography and a piece of historical storytelling.
