Overview
This is a wooden framed painted plaster relief map of Gallipoli. The horizontal scale is 1:63,360 or 1 inch to 1 mile with a vertical scale of 1:11,520 or 1 inch to 900 feet.
The front line for 1915 is recorded on the map as are cart tracks, mule tracks, place names, orchards, scrub, wood, mills, forts or batteries, and heights.
