EVS-Islands: Swabi' Islands DJ

The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

Swabi' Islands (aka Seven Brothers) is a group of islands that are controlled by Djibouti. These islands make up part of the Southern Red Sea Choke Point. The islands also figure in to the migration of early man out of Africa. I think the Bab-el-Mandeb near Barim Island is a more likely crossing point. In fact, an even better crossing point is along the Mediterranean Sea into modern day Palestine (Cana) and on into Israel.
