ITMB Map of Iraq & Baghdad – Scale: 1:1,200,000/1:25,000
A road map of Iraq & street Plan of Baghdad published by ITMB. On the front is a map of Iraq and on the back is a large map of Baghdad with a street index and a small map of the Baghdad area. Detailed map with terrain mapping. Index of cities is included.
As Iraq gradually settles down, it will be possible for visitors to return in bulk. At the moment, only the Kurdish-controlled north could be considered safe, and tourism is growing. Two international airports already receive planeloads of visitors from Europe, and the border with Turkey is one of the busiest crossing points in the world. ITMB has been involved with mapping Iraq since before the first Gulf War, when they provided the only map of Iraq then in print. By the time of the second war, commonly called the Iraq War, ITMB had a more sophisticated map, but one that had to be prepared under extremely trying circumstances. The third edition came out after the allies had occupied the country, but before it was safe for anyone but the most foolhardy to go there. This edition updates and improves upon all earlier editions. In addition, they have replaced the separate map of Baghdad with new artwork that is both up-to-date and will be responsive to changes as they unfold.
