What does the historical map “Petroleum resource potential GIS of northern Afghanistan” (2006) show?
The Library of Congress catalogs “Petroleum resource potential GIS of northern Afghanistan” as a digitized map dated 2006. The record is indexed for Maps, Prospecting, Petroleum, and Geology, making it a discoverable primary or historical source rather than a modern summary page.
What this adds to the history
The catalog credits Afghanistan. VizāRat-I MaʻāDin Va ṣAnāʼI, Steinhouer, Douglas W., United States. Trade And Development Agency, and Geological Survey (U.S.) as creator, contributor, or responsible organization. Attribution helps a reader investigate perspective and purpose.
The catalog connects the item with Afghanistan and lists English. It appears within the Library of Congress catalog.
Compare its labels, boundary lines, scale, routes, and blank spaces with maps from other dates. Do not use a historical map as a current boundary or navigation source.
Open the full Library of Congress entry before citing it. Preserve the catalog title, creator, date, item URL, and the exact page, frame, or map detail that supports the claim.
How to read the evidence responsibly
Historical maps preserve changing place names, routes, borders, surveys, strategic assumptions, and cartographic choices.
A map is an argument as well as an image. Its boundary lines, labels, scale, omissions, and political purpose must be checked against its date and maker.
Check the underlying information.
