"A Plan of the City of Jerusalem According to the Description Thereof in the Books of the Old Testament but More Especially in that of Nehemiah", Bowen, Emanuel

This simple bird's-eye plan of Jerusalem is based on an imaginative interpretation of Old Testament descriptions. Oriented with north to the right, the City of David is shown in a circular form on Mount Zion. The fortifications of the city and several other key locations are shown, identified by a lettered and numbered key at left.
