- Content
Map of the Khānaqīn district, on the frontier between Mesopotamia [Iraq] and Persia [Iran]. The map indicates: hydrology; topography; human settlements; the border between the two countries, marked by a thick solid red line; and the extent of territory transferred from Persia to Mesopotamia, marked by thick solid blue lines. The map also indicates the location of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company’s Naft Khana [Nafţ Khānah] oilfield in one of the transferred territories. The map is dated 18 August 1918. A note below the map title states that it was compiled from survey maps produced by the Mesopotamia Expeditionary Force (MEF) and West Persia Party, and supplemented by captured Turkish maps and sketches, and maps prepared by Francis R Maunsell.
The map accompanies a letter from the Acting Civil Commissioner in Mesopotamia, Arnold Talbot Wilson, dated 27 August 1919, describing the limits of the transferred territories, as outlined by Russian and British Frontier Commissioners in 1914 (ff 34-37).
