Title: WW2—Siege of Tobruk—Derna—Libya—South African Survey Coy—SAEC—September 1941 map Description: Derna—Not to be Published—Libya 1:500,000 Sheets 5 & 13 Derna'. Derna — Not to be Published, Libya 1:500,000, Sheets 5 & 13, drawn and reproduced in September 1941 by the South African Survey Company, South African Engineer Corps. Produced during the critical phase of the North African campaign, the map covers eastern Cyrenaica at a moment when Allied forces were preparing operations to relieve Tobruk. Compiled from rapid field surveys and revised intelligence, it was intended for operational use only and explicitly marked “Not to be Published”, restricting circulation to authorised military personnel. Such sheets were essential for planning troop movements, supply routes, and artillery coordination in terrain where pre-war mapping was inadequate or unreliable. As a contemporary field-survey product of an Allied specialist unit, the map offers a direct documentary record of wartime cartography under combat conditions and is a scarce survivor of operational mapping from the Western Desert in 1941. .
