This map appears identical to the one engraved by Daniel, which appeared in The Edinburgh Geographical and Historical Atlas published by John Hamilton in 1831. It is plate 47 of the atlas. Relief is shown by hachures, and scale is indicated in British statute miles. The map shows towns and other settlements, oases, caravan routes to Mecca from different directions, and other geographic features. Present-day Jordan, Israel, and Sinai are labeled as Arabia Petraea; present-day Sudan is identified as Nubia; Eritrea and Ethiopia are marked Abyssina; and northern Somalia is called Myrrh and Incense Country. The Red Sea islands of Dahlak and Jabal Zuqar (labeled Gebel Zeghir) are disproportionately large. Qatar is marked on the map as Catura and a tiny hint of the Qatar Peninsula can be seen on the map. Previously this region of the northern shore of Arabia was depicted as flat and it had only begun to be mapped at the very time of the publication of the original map made by Daniel Lizars. The pearl banks in the region of Qatar are also labeled.
