NIMA Releases Special Reference Map of Tikrit
April 16, 2003, Bethesda, Md. – The National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) today added Tikrit to its collection of
special reference maps of Baghdad, Iraq and the Middle East. NIMA produced these maps as tools to
help its public affairs office and other government public affairs offices in their efforts to discuss issues
with the media and public that might be related to the area depicted. The unclassified map, also referred
to by some users as a reference graphic, is suitable for reference only and should not be used for any
other purpose.
Government organizations authorized to order maps from the Defense Logistics Agency can do so using
NIMA stock numbers.
The map will be available for public distribution in the near future from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) by
calling 1-888-ASK-USGS. The USGS is the sales agent for the public distribution of unclassified NIMA
topographic map products and digital cartographic data.
