A mid-20th-century British military-issue folding paper map titled Palestine – Police Boundaries. The map was produced during the final year of the British Mandate and provides a detailed overview of administrative and law enforcement jurisdictions. The cartography includes a legend in the lower-left quadrant defining boundaries for Civil Districts in red, Civil Sub-Districts in green, and Police Station boundaries with dashed black lines. Major districts and regions are labelled in bold script, including Galilee, Samaria, Lydda, Jerusalem, Gaza, and Hebron. Specific towns, police posts, and topographical features such as the Dead Sea and Lake Tiberias are clearly marked. A printed note regarding the Lydda Civil District boundaries is included for administrative clarity. The bottom-right margin bears the printed attribution: Reproduced and Printed by 13 Field Survey Sqn. R.E. June 1947. The map is printed at a scale of 1:500,000.
