This Kharita™ was issued in 1946 by the National geographic magazine, v. 90, no. 6. It Includes numerous historical notes covering events from earliest times to the present.

6 inset maps are displayed on the right hand side of the map, with the titles of:

• Holy Land today
• Holy Land in Biblical times from Dan to Beersheba
• Jerusalem
• Traditional route of the Exodus
• St. Paul’s travels and the seven churches.
• The crusades

It is worth mentioning that there is no mention of the state of Israel anywhere on this map as Israel was only officially recognized in 1948-two years after this map was issued.
