Near and Middle East map

People have been making maps for thousands of years. The first map may have been a sketch made in the sand with a stick or finger. Maybe they were charcoal marks on a stone or engravings on a clay tablet. At the end, the cards are drawn on paper. The printing press allowed these maps to be printed on paper and distributed in the thousands.

For people who want printed maps, we produce series that contain statewide map coverage for individual states (or pairs of small neighboring states). The maps represent a combination of road, topographic, cultural and recreational information. These "hybrid cards" are a favorite of people who work and play outdoors in rural areas.

The Middle East (Front East or Middle East) is the Western geopolitical name for the poorly defined areas of Northeast Africa and Southwest Asia. The borders of the "Middle East" are arbitrary and undefined, but most often include Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Turkey, Iran (Persia), Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Yemen , the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
