Large chromolithographed map (122 x 139 cm). Scale 1:2,000,000. On cloth. Second edition. A highly detailed map of the complete Peninsula, the first modern map in 1:2,000,000 scale. Based on the groundbreaking series prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Arabian American Oil Company under the joint sponsorship of Saudi Arabia and the U.S. State Department, "a unique experiment in geological cooperation among several governments, petroleum companies, and individuals" (Seager/Johnston). Also includes the territories of today's Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. "The plan for a cooperative mapping project was originally conceived in July 1953 [. By 1955] there was established a cooperative agreement between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the U.S. Department of State, and the Arabian-American Oil Co. to make available the basic areal geology as mapped by Aramco and the U.S. Geological Survey" (ibid.). The plan provided for 21 maps on a 1:500,000 scale in both geologic and geographic versions; "a peninsular geologic map on a scale of 1:2,000,000 was to conclude the project [.] The first geographic quadrangle was published in July 1956 and the last in September 1962. While preparation of the geographic sheets was in progress, a need arose for early publication of a 1:2,000,000-scale peninsular geographic map. Consequently, a preliminary edition was compiled and published in both English and Arabic in 1958" (ibid.). This revised, final version ("I-270 B-2") that first appeared in 1963 incorporated additional photographic, topographic and cultural data. The present map, printed in 1967, is a re-issue of the 1963 edition, merely differing in the date. Includes a key with symbols for water pipelines, desert watering points, oil fields, pumping stations, refineries, and a glossary of Arabic names. - "Although the search for oil, gas and minerals was ultimately to drive geological survey work across the region [.], in its early years it was the need for water that was the catalyst for Saudi Arabia's resource exploration.

Brown, was one of the pioneers of a partnership between the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the government of Saudi Arabia that was to span the next five decades and play an important role in the development of the kingdom [.] By 1954 the Saudi Ministry of Finance, USGS and Aramco were working together to produce the first full series of geographic and geologic maps of the country.

SECOND EDITION, ENGLISH ISSUE. Large chromolithohraphed map (122 x 139 cm) of the Arabian peninsula shown with topographic relief, and marked with water pipelines, oases, oil fields, oil pipelines, ports and harbours, oil wells, natural gas fields, quarries and mines. Key lower left. The map includes the territories of modern day Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen, and was the work of a team lead by the distinguished geologist Glen F. Brown, whose pioneering work on surface geology, with its emphasis on water resources, minerals, and oil, pertains to this day. Minor light spotting lower right, generally in excellent condition. Issued simultaneously in an English and Arabic versions. Originally conceived in 1953 this second edition shows significant additional topographical detail and noticeably showing the growth in oil fields and accompanying infrastructure. Brown (1911-2001) began his career conducting coal investigations in South China and the Philippines and ground water investigations in Mississippi and Colorado, the latter mostly concerned with supplying water to military installations. In response to a request from Ibn Sa'ud for assistance from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Brown was selected in 1944 to investigate water supplies in the Saudi Arabian desert. Brown "arrived in Saudi Arabia early in 1945 and joined a mission sponsored by the US Foreign Economic Administration to study possibilities for agricultural development in central Arabia. As part of the mission he carried out a detailed investigation of the geologic formations in the Al Kharj district and identified substantial ground-water resources in buried aquifers. His report on the results of that investigation was very enthusiastically received by Saudi officials. [Brown returned to Saudi Arabia at the request of Ibn Saud] to conduct reconnaissance geologic mapping, mineral evaluation, and water-resource studies in the western and central parts of the kingdom. The mapping was carried forward from 1950 to 1958 by [Brown] with USGS and Saudi associates and extended to the entire Arabian Peninsula in cooperation with the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco), as well as to organizations and companies of other countries in the peninsula. This resulted in a remarkable series of bilingual geologic and geographic maps of Saudi Arabia at a scale of 1:500,000, and a geologic and geographic map of the entire Arabian Peninsula at a scale of 1:2,000,000, all of which were published by the USGS. These maps, together with reports on the geology, mineral deposits, and water resources prepared by [Brown] and his associates, providing the basis for Saudi Arabia to undertake a major national resource exploration and development program" (obituary Geological Society of America). The map includes the territories of modern day Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. Although the hunt for oil, gas and minerals ultimately drove geological survey work across the region, in its early years it was the need for continual water sources which was the catalyst for Saudi Arabia's resource exploration. In 1944 King 'Abd al-'Aziz approached the United States for a technical expert who could assist with the identification and plotting of the kingdom's natural resources, particularly its groundwater reserves. Glen F. Brown, who undertook the task and is responsible for this map, was one of the pioneers of a partnership between the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the government of Saudi Arabia. This collaboration was one of international importance, spanning the next five decades and influencing the development of the kingdom significantly. By 1954, the Saudi Ministry of Finance, United States Geological Survey (USGS) and Aramco were working together to produce the first full series of geographic and geologic maps of the country. The first of their type in the Peninsula, were published between the late 1950s and early 1960s in both Arabic and English copies. The information these maps contained formed the basis of subsequent Saudi national development plans. To this day, all modern maps of the kingdom trace their roots back to these publications.

"His efforts contributed materially to the phenomenal economic progress development that Saudi Arabia has experienced." Wooden case with the words 'Saudi Arabia' and 'Maps', printed to the front (317 by 336 by 197mm ), containing 30 geological maps, covering large parts of the Arabian peninsula (29 of which are housed in their original sleeves), a further three maps detailing areas of Saudi Arabia (all three with a few small tears along folds), a booklet containing two maps on the the use of computer-enhanced imagery on the geological mapping of western Arabia, a Distinguished Service Letter for Glen F. Brown, Glen F. Brown's 1995 Hollis D. Hedberg Award medal (housed in original box) and programme, the Geological Society of America's memorial service programme for Glen F. Brown, Brown's New York Times obituary, a brass plaque commemorating 30 years of Saudi American co-operation, and a postcard of the Portuguese fort Qatif. The map case belonging to Professor Glen F. Brown, the leading American geologist working in Saudi Arabia in the mid-twentieth century. His contribution to the geology of the region was vital for the wealth and prosperity of Saudi Arabia and the surrounding regions. Although the hunt for oil, gas and minerals ultimately drove geological survey work across the region, in its early years it was the need for continual water sources which was the catalyst for Saudi Arabia's resource exploration. In 1944 King 'Abd al-'Aziz approached the United States for a technical expert who could assist with the identification and plotting of the kingdom's natural resources, particularly its groundwater reserves. Glen F. Brown, who undertook the task and is responsible for the maps with this case, was one of the pioneers of a partnership between the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the government of Saudi Arabia. This collaboration was one of international importance, spanning the next five decades and influencing the development of the kingdom significantly. By 1954, the Saudi Ministry of Finance, United States Geological Survey (USGS) and Aramco were working together to produce the first full series of geographic and geologic maps of the country. The first of their type in the Peninsula, were published between the late 1950s and early 1960s in both Arabic and English copies. The information these maps contained formed the basis of subsequent Saudi national development plans. To this day, all modern maps of the kingdom trace their roots back to these publications. The box contains 30 geological maps (of which 29 are housed within their original sleeves) on a scale of 1:500,000. The maps were produced in two versions. The sheets marked with the suffix 'A' combine geology and geography, whilst 'B' showed just the geography. The sheets marked by the prefix 'GM' are reprints of earlier maps, whilst the prefix 'AP' denotes maps of the whole of the Arabian peninsula. As well as the geological maps the box also contains: a paper on the use of computer enhanced imagery for the mapping of western Arabia; Glen Brown's Distinguished Service Citation letter from the State Department; Glen Brown's 1995 Hollis D. Hedberg Award medal and programme; the Geological Society of America's memorial service programme for Glen F.

While the revised, final version that appeared in 1963 ("I-270 B-2") would incorporate some additional photographic, topographic and cultural data, the exceedingly uncommon present, preliminary edition is surprisingly complete in virtually all respects - a testament to the precision with which Aramco's cartographers proceeded from the very first.

Also includes the territories of today's Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. "The plan for a cooperative mapping project was originally conceived in July 1953 [. By 1955] there was established a cooperative agreement between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the U.S. Department of State, and the Arabian-American Oil Co. to make available the basic areal geology as mapped by Aramco and the U.S. Geological Survey" (ibid.). The plan provided for 21 maps on a 1:500,000 scale in both geologic and geographic versions; "a peninsular geologic map on a scale of 1:2,000,000 was to conclude the project [.] The first geographic quadrangle was published in July 1956 and the last in September 1962. While preparation of the geographic sheets was in progress, a need arose for early publication of a 1:2,000,000-scale peninsular geographic map. Consequently, a preliminary edition was compiled and published in both English and Arabic in 1958" (ibid.). While the revised, final version that appeared in 1963 ("I-270 B-2") would incorporate some additional photographic, topographic and cultural data, the exceedingly uncommon present, preliminary edition is surprisingly complete in virtually all respects - a testament to the precision with which Aramco's cartographers proceeded from the very first. Includes a key with symbols for water pipelines, desert watering points, oil fields, pumping stations, refineries, and a glossary of Arabic names. - "Although the search for oil, gas and minerals was ultimately to drive geological survey work across the region [.], in its early years it was the need for water that was the catalyst for Saudi Arabia's resource exploration. In 1944 King 'Abd al-'Aziz approached the United States for a technical expert who could assist with the identification and plotting of the kingdom's natural resources, particularly its groundwater reserves. The individual who arrived, Glen F. Brown, was one of the pioneers of a partnership between the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the government of Saudi Arabia that was to span the next five decades and play an important role in the development of the kingdom [.] By 1954 the Saudi Ministry of Finance, USGS and Aramco were working together to produce the first full series of geographic and geologic maps of the country. The first of their type in the Peninsula, these were published [.] in both Arabic and English versions, and the information they contained formed the basis of subsequent Saudi national development plans. To this day, all modern maps of the kingdom trace their roots back to these first publications" (Parry). - Some insignificant browning; a few slight edge defects professionally repaired. Altogether in fine condition. - James V. Parry, "Mapping Arabia", in: Saudi Aramco World 2004/1, p. 20ff. OCLC 30099393. O. A. Seager/W. D.
