This Ottoman Turkish map, dated circa 1907, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical geography of the southern region of Iraq and the territory that is now Kuwait. The map's focus is primarily on the province of Basra and the strategic Shatt al-Arab region, which leads out into the Persian Gulf. At the time, the Ottoman Empire held significant influence over this area, which was a crucial trade hub between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. The map's intricate details reveal the various cities, towns, and villages that dotted the landscape, including Basra, Umm Qasr, and Amara. The Shatt al-Arab, a major waterway that connects the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to the Persian Gulf, is depicted with remarkable accuracy, highlighting the importance of water transportation in this region. The map also showcases the complex political and administrative divisions of the Ottoman Empire, with various provinces and districts marked out in meticulous detail. The border between the Ottoman territories and those of Persia (Iran) is clearly demarcated, reflecting the ongoing tensions and negotiations between these two powerful empires. The lower right hand section of the map is dominated by the Persian Gulf, with various islands and coastal towns depicted. The map's cartographic precision and rich detail provide valuable insights into the geography, politics, and economic importance of the southern Iraqi region during the late Ottoman period. This map is an essential resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the Middle East, particularly in the context of the Ottoman Empire's influence in the region.
