Background

Oncenawhile, very interesting background can be found in this paper. There was even an earlier (misnamed) "Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem". Zero^talk 11:20, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Zero0000: After much searching, I have found a copy of the earlier map you referred to here. It is also discussed in these two sources (a century apart): [2] and [3]. Onceinawhile (talk) 22:03, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, now I found it on my computer too but I don't remember how it got there. I have thousands of maps. Zero^talk 02:13, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Front page of the Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem

... that the 1865 Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem was the first perfectly accurate mapping of the city, the first Ordnance Survey outside the UK, and the impetus for the Palestine Exploration Fund's creation? Source: See quotations in article.

Long enough. New enough. Neutral. Well written. Reliable inline citations throughout. Available online sources check out. AGF on offline sources. The hook's source checks out. GTG. Hybernator (talk) 19:02, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sandreczki's list

The list of Sandreczki is appended to Ariel's facsimile edition of the Survey, starting at page 182. I don't think it appeared with the original, but I'm not sure. The numbers in the list correspond to this map. There is a wealth of information there. Zero^talk 11:52, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
