Original British World War I military topographical map of the Orljak–Rupel Pass region, issued in 1917 and marked “CONFIDENTIAL”.
This detailed field map covers a strategically important sector of the Macedonian Front in the Balkans, produced for operational military use. It includes extensive terrain information, infrastructure, and marked trench systems.
The sheet explicitly states “Trenches corrected to 20-11-17”, allowing precise dating to late 1917. The map was compiled from ground surveys and aeroplane photographs — a characteristic method of WWI military cartography.
Printed in colour lithography with contour lines, waterways, roads, bridges, and military positions. A genuine wartime military document, not a modern reproduction.
