1/7500 scaled Touristic Islands Map by Master Engineer Architect Ümit Yurtseven, published in Istanbul by APA Ofset Printing House in 1979.
We know that the information on the map prepared as a touristic guide is largely taken from Orhan Erden's book, Istanbul Islands. Apart from that, Meydan Larousse and Hayat Encyclopedia are used as sources for Burgaz island and Sait Faik Abasıyanık articles. In addition to the two Touristic Islands Maps in Turkish / English and German / French in my archive, there are maps prepared by MArchitect Ümit Yurtseven for Antalya, Bodrum-Datça-Marmaris, Erdek, Beyoğlu and Şişli. Another information about Ümit Yurtseven is that he is a 58-59 ITU graduate and among his classmates are Afife Batur and Şazimen Sayılgan (Arolat). (http://www.itumd.org.tr/i/uploads/muhendisname_50.pdf). The most striking find for me on the map, which contains a lot of valuable information, was the Old Lime Quarries, which appeared in the location known as White Earth. This discovery may be an answer to the location of Burgaz island Stone Pit photo from the Dersaadet Rıhtım Company Album in Yıldız Archive of Sultan II.Abdulhamid.
Let's continue with the details of the map specific to Burgaz island.
Journey in Burgaz Island
1. Going to Kalpazankaya
