"The Necip Bey maps of Istanbul are some of the most unusual maps made of the city, both in style and coverage. They show the city and region at the height of the Ottoman Empire just before World War I . They were issued and classified in an experimental style by the Sehremaneti (city administration) and printed in 1918 in Vienna by the Hölzel Printing House. The maps were prepared by the ?ehremaneti Survey Branch Manager Engineer, Necip Bey. The Necip Bey maps consist of the main folios of Eminönü-Fatih, Beyo?lu and Üsküdar-Kad?köy, as well as general maps of the countryside, the Princes' Islands, and all of Istanbul. Prepared as a city guide, the maps were divided into regions and the street names of every region were recorded. . The maps prepared by Necip Bey depict some important government offices, schools, mosques, churches, tekkes, mebani-i hususiye (civilian structures), fountains, Islamic and Christian cemeteries, woods, forests, gardens, parks, vegetable gardens, lakes, wells, streams, lands, farms, bridges, the old walls, tram and train lines, water routes, and city boundaries. A legend on the general map explains the symbols used in the maps" (Rumsey).
