Another Map of Palestine from 1876


Here's the companion to the previous map, one that covers the middle and most of the southern region of Modern Israel. Note the position of Jerusalem and that it is also shown with it's Arabic name, El Kuds. Yafo (Jaffa) is also on the map, but Tel Aviv had not yet been founded. Other modern Israeli cities that were established before 1876 are Arad (in the Negev), Bethlehem, Ashkelon, and Ashdod. Gaza City, now considered part of the Palestinian state, was also already in existence.
