mousethief, if you really are interested in the British Mandated Palestine (as I believe you are), and its division into Palestine and Trans-Jordan, later the Kingdom of Jordan, and now just plain Jordan, I have provided a site:

unimaps.com/jordan-pal1923/print.html

I also suggest that you read for historical context, A PEACE TO END ALL PEACE, by David Fromkin; if not the whole tome, at least the last half from about page 253 in my trade pb edition. It may still be in print...I note there is a Kindle edition...or your local library can get a copy for you. It is an outstandingly good book, which covers WWI, and the establishment of Mandates and new Nations in the Middle East after the war. While the book ends at about 1925, it is easy to see how that world got to where it is today.
Sorry about Guest posting. I am on my laptop, and have forgotten both my password, and the email account I set up from years ago on my Desktop machine.
