About this record

Content

Map showing the area of Bahrain that the crude oil pipe line was proposed to traverse. The pipeline runs from the west coast of Bahrain between Kuraiya [Al Qurayyah] and Jasra [Al Jasrah] to the Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO)'s refinery on the west coast near Nuwaidrat [An Nuwaydirāt].

The pipeline is marked by two parallel ink lines and coloured red. Its direction is marked using longitute and latitude co-ordinates and distances in feet. Additional longitute and latitude markers are included near the village of Buri [Būrī] to show where the route had been revised.

A legend includes a dotted line showing gardens, a dashed line showing roads and a longer dashed line showing the boundary of BAPCO's concession area.
