Шаблон:Infobox document The 1840–41 Royal Engineers maps of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria was an early scientific mapping of Palestine (including a detailed mapping of Jerusalem), Lebanon and Syria.

It represented the second modern, triangulation-based attempt at surveying Palestine, following the French Carte de l'Égypte.Шаблон:Sfn

It has occasionally been mislabeled as an Ordnance Survey map; in fact none of the officers worked for the Ordnance Survey, which was a separate organization.Шаблон:Sfn The Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem, carried out almost 25 years later, was a separate and materially more detailed endeavor.

Jerusalem map

Шаблон:See also The Jerusalem map was printed privately for the Board of Ordnance in August 1841. It was published in a reduced form in Alderson's ‘’Professional Papers of the Royal Engineers’’ in 1845,[1] and subsequently as a supplement to the 1849 second edition of Reverend George Williams' The Holy City: Historical, Topographical, and Antiquarian Notices of Jerusalem together with a 130-page memoir on the plan.[2]Шаблон:Sfn The memoir contained a three-page appendix defending the plan from criticism received from Edward Robinson. [2]

The map may have been the source of the modern tradition of dividing Jerusalem into four "quarters". Matthew Teller writes that this convention may have originated in the 1841 map,[3] or at least George Williams' subsequent labelling of it.[4]

Regional maps

The regional maps were never published in their entirety.Шаблон:Sfn A private printing for the British Foreign Office was produced in 1846.Шаблон:Sfn The only published map, Map 2, was published in Charles Henry Churchill's book on Mount Lebanon.Шаблон:Sfn Map 3 was used in the creation of Van de Velde's map.Шаблон:Sfn

Charles Wilson later explained that the data "was in too fragmentary a state for publication". Шаблон:Sfn

Criticism

The survey contained a number of flaws. The theodolite was often operated by Symonds alone, miscalculations were made around heights (e.g. on the Sea of Galilee), and the outlines of the Haram es-Sharif in Jerusalem were known to have been miscalculated. As such, scholars such as Edward Robinson and August Petermann chose not to trust the work.Шаблон:Sfn
