2. **Geographical Features**: The map shows the eastern Mediterranean coastline, the Jordan River, the Dead Sea, and other significant topographical features like mountain ranges and valleys.
3. **Inset Maps**: There are inset maps that provide a detailed view of important locations, such as Jerusalem, with key historical and biblical sites marked.
4. **Ancient Cities**: Cities such as Jericho, Hebron, and others are likely indicated, reflecting their importance in ancient times.
