English: An illustration from the Encyclopaedia Biblica, a 1903 publication which is now in the public domain.
Map for article "Mesopotamia". It would be helpful if someone could add colour to the map (specifically, the oceans, rivers, and lakes), to clarify it/ improve the aesthetic. INDEX TO NAMES (this has not been formatted - if you wish to apply a better format, please do so) Article references refer to Encyclopaedia Biblica articles. Parenthesis indicating sections in MESOPOTAMIA or of articles that refer to place-names are in some cases added to non-biblical names having no biblical equivalent. The alphabetical arrangement ignores prefixes: ed-, el- ('the'), J. (Jebel, 'mt.'), jeziret ('island'), kal'at ('castle'), Kh. (khirbat, 'ruin'), Mt., Mons, N. (Nahr, 'river'), R., fell, fil ('mound'), Tur ('mount'). J. 'Abdel 'Azi, E2 (3, 9) Tur 'Abdin, E2 (3, 9) Accho, B4 Achzib, B4 Acre, B4 (DAMASCUS, 4) R.
