Summary

Description
English: Inset map from a map of Kurdistan prepared by the Unites States Central Intelligence Agency's Map Branch in 1946. The area the map legend calls "ethnic "Kurdistan"" is indicated by diagonal red lines and includes parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The "boundary of the proposed Kurdish state submitted to the UN by the Kurdish Rizgari Party" is shown with an outline of red dashes. This inset map shows the southern extremity of this claim, which extends to the Persian Gulf, beyond the boundary of the main map. (On the main map, (Scale 1:4,250,000) elevation in metres is shown by shading. The main roads of the region are indicated by solid red lines. Railways of standard gauge (such as the historically significant Aleppo–Mosul stretch of the Berlin–Baghdad railway) are shown as solid black lines, and railways of other gauges (Russian gauge and two species of narrow gauge) are indicated by different track-marks.) The main map is titled with the word "KURDISTAN" in quotation marks.
The main map is marked at bottom left: "11016 Map Branch, CIA, 8–48.", and top right: "11016".
Digitally added to the image, beneath the map: "DECLASSIFIED Authority E.O. 13526" and "NND 76630".
