Folks:

An Iraq 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.

Stock number is #114341.

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