Facts
about Turkey (CIA World Factbook)
Sheets
from this map of Turkey are to be found in several of the
American Overseas Research Centers around the Mediterranean,
but nowhere is it complete. By using the Medmaps database
researchers can locate the sheets they need either at Cyprus
American Archaeological Research Institute, American Research
Institute in Turkey (Ankara), or the Blegen Library in Athens.
The map was produced by the Turkish Directorate for Cartography
(Genel Harita Müdürlügü), and it is an
example of the relationship between cartography and statecraft.
Maps of this sort can be used by individual states to foster
ideas about the boundaries of a country, the nature and extent
of its administration, and about its economic growth and natural
resources. |
