Our
collection lacks these sheets as well, and I suspect they
were never done. My reading of the history of mapping in
the area, in Larsgaard’s Topographic mapping o Africa,
Antarctica, and Eurasia (WAML occasional publication no. 14,
1993), page 91, is that only “one sheet of central Judaea at
1:50,000 scale” was published, and then 1:20,000 became the
standard scale for mapping Palestine prior to 1948 and that
was continued by Israel. Mapping at 1:50,000 continued only
after completion of a 1:100k series.

The National Library has a patron seeking copies of (or information about) some sheets in a series covering Lebanon, and parts of Syria, Israel and Jordan titled
"Levant 1:50,000"
