The Historical and Political Geography of Israel and Palestine

Supplement--Historical Maps of Israel and Palestine

Arab, Crusader, and Ottoman rule (A.D. 637 to 1917)

A large number of historical and modern maps of Israel and Palestine are available on the web. This page provides links to many of them, arranged more or less by historical period. I will be adding more maps as I come across them in the next few weeks, so check back.

Because historical events and geographies are part of the contested facts in the modern conflict, users should note the source of the maps when you evaluate their "truthfulness."
