Folks:

An Iraq Planning Map has recently been released by the National Imagery
and
Mapping Agency (NIMA), and is available to the public for $10.00(US)
plus
handling.  Quantities are limited and the USGS may obtain the digital
files
of the map from NIMA for future printing.  (This could result in a price
change).  I examined a copy of this map yesterday and it is quite
interesting; the map includes insets, something rare on a NIMA map.

The map includes portions of the surrounding countries of Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel and Turkey.
