This map is a composite of 11 sheets of the British Survey Map of Cairo
scanned into Adobe Photoshop joined, cleaned up, and then color coded to represent
buildings that have been destroyed since the 1920s, in red, and buildings that are
still standing, in green. The determination of a buildings status was made by
comparing the 1998 satellite photo with the overlay of the 1920s map. In many cases this
was a guess that will be tested against field observation.
