This detailed map, created in 1830, depicts the Bay of Algiers. It was likely used by French forces in their invasion of the city that same year. The map, titled "Plan Topographique D'Alger", highlights key locations and geographical features, such as the coastline, forts, and surrounding mountains, providing valuable insight into the strategic landscape of the invasion. The map's intricate details demonstrate the importance of cartography in military planning during the 19th century, a period marked by significant territorial expansion and conflict.
