Old maps · 1881
The environs of Jerusalem
Mapmaker: H.H. Hardesty (Firm) · Year: 1881
From the «Historical Hand-Atlas» published by H. H. Hardesty in Chicago and Toledo in 1881, which includes a numbered series of Bible maps. Map No. 10 covers the hills around the city, from Bethel and Jericho to Bethlehem and Tekoa; for Emmaus it marks more than one proposed site, a question still open.
