Old map of Central, Entebbe, Uganda.

-10 and the Uganda Survey Department of 1907--8, completed by the Geographical Section of the General Staff, and printed at the War Office in London. Depicted are the counties, kingdoms, water springs, and major towns within and around Entebbe, along with telegraph lines and stations, railways, post offices, and Protestant and Catholic mission stations. Five categories of roads are shown, from "1st class, metalled roads" to "minor bush tracks." A note indicates: "The Country generally is covered with thin scattered bush. For the sake of clearness, only forest and thick bush are shown." Entebbe is located on the northern shore of Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, approximately 37 kilometers southwest of Kampala, the capital of Uganda. It is the location of Entebbe International Airport, Uganda's largest commercial and military airport, best known for the dramatic rescue in 1976 of more than 100 Israeli citizens held hostage on a hijacked French airliner by Arab and German terrorists.
