1799 Carte de l'Égypte (Description de l'Égypte) Pierre Jacotin Originally prepared during the French campaign in Egypt and Syria; 47 sheets were prepared, with the Palestine area being covered by sheets 43-47. The first triangulation-based map of Palestine, it was used as the basis for many most maps of the region until the PEF Survey in the 1870s.[1][2] It is considered flawed, primarily since it included a significant number of incorrect or imagined details, which had been “added to the map ad libitum where the French had not been able to survey.”[3] Palestine A detailed map of Palestine from the century
1803 Cedid Atlas Müderris Abdurrahman Efendii The first modern printed atlas in the Ottoman Empire, part of the Nizam-I Cedid reforms of Sultan Selim III, showing Ottoman Syria in the 1803.[4] Considered to be based on the d'Anville 1794 map (published in William Faden's "General Atlas"), it contained important adaptations to represent Ottoman geographic representations of the provinces.[5] Shows the term "ارض فلاستان" ("Land of Palestine") in large script on the bottom left.

1815 Arrowsmith map Aaron Arrowsmith The title "A Sketch of the Countries between Jerusalem and Aleppo" is likely a reference to Henry Maundrell's "Journey from Aleppo to Jerusalem" published in 1703; the map's description of Jacob's Well is a direct quote from Maundrell. The map also quotes Ulrich Jasper Seetzen, whose "Brief Account of the Countries Adjoining the Lake of Tiberias, the Jordan and the Dead Sea" was published in 1809.[6] The map is a combination of a modern map and a biblical map (showing the Twelve Tribes)[7] Pashalic of Acre A detailed map of Palestine from the 19th century
