A new map of the city of Baghdad, Iraq has been published by Byron Como.
It was created using the open source software Quantum GIS. Three years
in the making the map contains approximately 45,000 objects of which
43,000 are polygons. The map is 30" x 48" at a scale of 1-1/2" = 1 mile.
All property types are identified by color at the block level. Thousands
of features are identified including place names, district boundaries,
mosques, schools, gas stations, car repair shops, shopping locations and
more. The map is assigned ISBN 978-0-615-43936-5. It is currently listed
on Ebay under "Baghdad Map". A major effort and worth a look by any
cartographic expert. Inquires and comments can be sent to
