By contrast with the gravures¹ and the plan-maps² defined as “perspective charted spatial plan[s] (vendute),” there are quite a few Ottoman miniatures³ and maps⁴ among the visual resources on the history of Ottoman Istanbul. The first and most famous of Istanbul depictions is the plan that appears in the work Beyân-i Menâzil-i Sefer-i Irakeyn, prepared by Matrakçı Nasuh in 1537.⁵ A one-page description, which was prepared collectively by Lokman b. Seyyid Hüseyin and the artisans of Nakkaş Osman⁶ and which depicts the city together with the comet that appeared on the Istanbul skyline in 1579, and a double-page plan in Hünernâme⁷ that was prepared in 1584–1585, are the most important depictions of the 16th century. Istanbul drawings that appear in Pîrî Reis’s Kitâb-ı Bahriye (Book of Navigation) and date from the 16th and later centuries are among the most important visual resources of the first centuries of Ottoman Istanbul.⁸ Apart from these, although there are depictions of some monumental architectural works, headquarters, and districts of Istanbul, there is no early-period Ottoman miniature that depicts the entire city.⁹

The oldest surviving map of Ottoman Istanbul is Şekl-i Haliç ve Konstantiniyye (Image of the Golden Horn and Constantinople),¹⁰ which appears in Kâtip Çelebi’s Cihannümâ. This map, which was produced in the mid-17^th century, was followed by a map of Istanbul and the Bosphorus that was prepared by the Ottoman cartographer Konstantin Kaminar on 23 Zilka’de 1228/18 November 1813 and offered to Mahmud II.¹¹ On this map, water facilities in barrages, settlement areas of Rumelia, and Anatolian lighthouses at the entrances to the Bosphorus are also indicated, as well as the names of some important places like the Old Palace and Ağa Gate and some mosques in the walled city. However, there are some problems in the precise definition of locations.

The map that is the subject of this chapter was prepared by the students of the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun (Imperial School of Naval Engineering) on 27 Cemaziyelahir 1261/3 July 1845.¹² The map is in color, has a scale of 1:2,000,¹³ and consists of two sections. The southern section shows the southern parts of the Bosphorus, including the walled city and its surroundings, while the northern section shows the part of the Bosphorus that is on the northern side of Rumelihisarı and extends to Rumelikavağı. Each section measures 152 cm × 192 cm. They were made folded because of the map printing technique of the time and for ease of handling. The southern section is folded into 42 parts and the northern section into 48. The map was drawn on paper and manipulated on cloth.

The content, size, date of preparation, and preparers’ names are given in the lower left corner of the map. The explanation is as follows:

Dârü’s- saltanat-i seniyye olan Istanbul’un hâricinde vâki‘ Zeytinburnu ve Üsküdar’da kâ’in Fenerbahçesi’nden Karadeniz Bogazi’nda vâki‘Rumeli ve Anadolu fenerlerine varincaya kadar nefs-i Istanbul’un ve civârinda vâki‘ Eyyûb-i Ensarî ve Hasköy ve Kasimpasa ve Galata ve Beyoglu ve Tophane ve Besiktas ve Üsküdar ve mahall-i sâ’irede mevcûd cevâmi‘-i serîfe ve mevâki‘-i meshûre ve kislâk-i hümâyûn ve ebniye-i sâ’ire ve bi’l-cümle tarîk-i âmm u tarîk-i hâs ve bostân u meydân ve bâg u bahçe ve iskele ve mevâki‘-i sâ’ire ve kurb-i civârinda olan ba’zi karyelerin harîta-i mevzi’yesidir ki bu defa Mühendishâne-i Hümâyûn sâkirdâni kullari ma‘rifetiyle ta‘lîm-gûnâ bi’l-hendese mesâha olunarak müceddeden ahz u tersîm olunmusdur 27 C. 1261. Iki bin zirâ‘-i Osmânî mikyâsidir.

This is the map showing mosques, famous places, winter quarters of the sultan, other buildings, and the main roads, special roads, squares, vineyards, gardens, and ports, which are located in neighborhoods in, outside of, and near Istanbul, the place of the supreme sultanate, that are located in Zeytinburnu and Üsküdar, Beşiktaş, Tophane, Beyoğlu, Kasımpaşa, Hasköy, and Eyyub-i Ensari. It was drawn with geometrical measures by the students of Mühendishane-i Hümayun as a training exercise on 27 Cemaziyelahir 1261. It has the scale of two thousand Ottoman zira.

The borders of the southern section, which displays the city of Istanbul and its immediate surroundings, are as follows: the western border is drawn west of Çırpıcı Stream in Zeytinburnu; the eastern border reaches Ümraniye; and a line that passes north of the two fortresses Rumelihisarı and Anadoluhisarı forms the northern border. The northern section continues from this point, including Rumeli and Anadolu Feneri. Although a wide area stretching east to west is depicted in the southern section of the map, only a narrow strip east and west of the Bosphorus is depicted in the northern section. This section of the map includes the settlement areas of Boğaziçi but does not depict the interior parts in detail, because the settlement areas were close to the shore of Bosphorus and the interior areas were of less interest. It is probably for this reason that the northern section of the map is limited to the shores of the Bosphorus.

The sparsity of the settlements in the northern part of Istanbul and the large scale of the map made it possible to show substantial detail. Almost all of the ports, piers, castles, bastions, fisheries, fountains, and mansions along the Anatolian and Rumelian shores of the Bosphorus are shown on the map. Like in the southern section, cemeteries and cultivated areas such as vineyards, gardens, orchards, and arable fields that are located on shores and the ridges and slopes on the back parts are also depicted. A total of 30 cemeteries and burial areas are depicted on the map, including four Jewish cemeteries. Other geographical elements, such as large and small headlands and bays along the Bosphorus, are also shown.

Of the maps known today, this is the first that had the characteristics of a city plan and was prepared by the Ottomans.¹⁴ The map with its drawing, content, details, and descriptions of buildings, streets, and locations is noteworthy in terms of the city’s history. The only known map from this era that was not prepared by westerners,¹⁵ more detailed and bigger than the map by Helmuth von Moltke that is thought to be its model, it can be regarded as a reference work. The map is significant in terms of the city history of Istanbul, its geography, topography, names of places, hills, valleys, cemeteries, streams, and streets; it is also significant in terms of the religious life of Istanbul because of its list of the names of mosques.

The map contains detailed information on many aspects of Istanbul and nearby areas. It is of great importance that the map depicts the residential area that existed on its publication date in such size and with such precision. Lots of information within the residential area should also be included in this. Moreover, it includes detailed information about various areas of usage around the city. The map is informative about a vast number of features including farms, arable fields, vineyards and orchards, gardens, mills, streets, bridges, bastions, barracks, and training areas.

The most important feature of the map is its scale, which is given on the southwestern side under the name of the map, as a graphic and as text.

Several characteristics of the map are significant. Its large scale makes it possible to depict Istanbul and its vicinity in substantial detail. It uses a linear scale, a kind of scale widely used in scientific studies, which prevents distortions that may otherwise appear when the map is copied in different sizes and thus preserves the technical qualities of the map. A symbol on the map indicates the compass directions. There are no latitude or longitude markings on the map. Elevation values are also not shown, although Büyük Çamlıca Hill and other hills are shown. Contour lines are not given, but topography is shown effectively with colors and hachures. Valleys and their slopes are depicted with hachures and in grey. The direction of the flow of streams is shown, which also indicates the general slope of the land. Some big streams like Kağıthane, Alibeyköy, Kurbağalı, and Çırçır are depicted in blue.

The map legend is placed below the map; it provides the names of mosques, slopes, locations, and streets as well as information about the scale, content, and the map artist. However, not all map elements are explained in this legend. The map conveys extensive information through colors and symbols. For example, land parcels are depicted in different colors and hachures. Based on our general knowledge of mapping, it can be easily understood that these represent different types of land use, but the map legend does not explain what they are; this limits the use of the map.

Some information not given in the legend is given directly on the map; land parcels are labeled as arable fields, vineyards, gardens, meadows, orchards, and cemeteries. Bright green areas are labeled as meadows; the area that corresponds to Karacaahmet Cemetery and some other areas outside the wall in Topkapı are depicted in red hachures and labeled mezaristan (cemetery). The map shows a broad expanse of arable fields, gardens, and orchards around Istanbul. These areas, some large and some small, are depicted on the map in different colors and hachures. Areas colored yellow, brown, or green with hachures in different directions are labeled as arable fields. These cover an extended area around Ümraniye, Merdivenköy, and Göztepe. Vineyards cover a wide area on the Anatolian side, extending from Anadoluhisarı in the north to the coast of the Marmara Sea in the south. On the European side, Çırçır Valley and the crests of Arnavutköy and Bebek are the main areas with vineyards. Vineyards indicated in yellow with a special symbol are also shown directly on the map, like other cultivated areas. Gardens, which are shown in green and with dark green spots, are concentrated around the residential area.

Although it is not specified in the map legend, it is clear that the areas depicted in pink are residential, since they correspond to the old settlement areas of Istanbul.

The map depicts currents in the Bosphorus with arrows; there are 11 of these in the northern section and 15 in the southern section. These indicate that the main current system in the Bosphorus is from north to south. The southern section of the map also shows a current moving south to north. This current, which is shown at 13 different points, exists at the headlands of Moda, Kadiköy, and İhsaniye ports on the Anatolian coast. On the European coast, north-moving currents are indicated in front of Zeytinburnu, Narlıkapı, Sarayburnu, Tophane, Beşiktaş, and Ortaköy.

On the map, there are no symbols for mines, limekilns, tileries, windmills, water springs (ayazma), police stations, pools, landmark stones (nişantaşı), threshing areas, shipyards, or other institutions and places, but many of these are indicated with written labels.

Most land use types are labeled directly on the map and shown in different colors and hachures as in the following examples.

The map depicts the river system in detail (especially outside of the residential areas)—in particular İncirlibağçe, Sakızağacı, Dolap, Etmekçioğlu, Kettancı, Taşköprü, Doymaz, and Bülbül Streams. Today, most of the valleys in which these streams were located have been urbanized, and it is no longer possible to determine these streams. The map is also interesting in this respect.

The map shows the streets of Istanbul in detail. Mosques, famous slopes, streets, and roads are numbered, and the corresponding names are given in numbered lists at the bottom of the map. Locations outside the city wall are labeled directly. The map is an important document regarding the residential areas of Istanbul during the age in which it was produced.

The map shows Suriçi Istanbul, Zeytinburnu, Üsküdar, Fenerbahçe, Anadolu, and Rumelifeneri, as well as famous locations, large barracks, streets, squares, gardens, and ports in Eyüp, Hasköy, Sütlüce, Kasımpaşa, Galata, Beyoğlu, Tophane, Dolmabahçe, and Beşiktaş, and the villages in the immediate vicinity. The locations of the mosques in Suriçi Istanbul, which today is considered part of the district of Fatih, are represented as numbers corresponding to a list that appears at the bottom of the map. The famous slopes, locations, streets, and roads inside and outside the walled city, Eyüp, Üsküdar, and the area from Sütlüce to Dolmabahçe are marked partially as numbers and partially as letters, also corresponding to a list at the bottom of the map.

The map can be called the Map of Istanbul Mosques because of the many mosques it shows. Of these, 425 are indicated by number, while several large mosques are labeled directly, such as the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Han, Sultan Bayezid, Laleli, Şehzade, Sultanahmet, and Osmaniye (Nur-i Osmaniye) Mosques. Thus, the mosques and prayer rooms (mescits) within the walled city in 1845 numbered more than 425. Although they are not listed, the mosques and prayer rooms in Eyüp, Galata, Üsküdar, and other areas are also labeled directly on the map. There are 594 prayer rooms and mosques indicated on the map either by a numerical code or a name. Three namazgah (open-air prayer places) are also shown.

some mosque names appear more than once in the lists. Molla Gürani appears three times, Daye Hatuli three times, Molla Fenari twice, and Saman Veren Mosque twice. The reason for this repetition is not that the same mosque is mentioned repeatedly but that mosques in different districts had the same name, as can be seen when the numbers on the map are compared. For example, Saman Veren Mosque is mentioned two times, but Saman Emini Hoca Sinan Efendi had two mosques—Çukurçeşme Mosque in Fatih, and another in Mercan. Daye Kadın prayer rooms, numbers 213 and 214, are located in two separate areas that are close to each other.

Some mosques and prayer rooms are omitted from the map; thus, it is possible that there may have been more than 594 of them. According to a list dated 24 October 2014 that was provided by the Istanbul Müftülüğü (Directorate of Religious Affairs), the current number of mosques and prayer rooms in Suriçi, including those built after 1845, is 291. Comparing this total to the 1845 map makes it possible to estimate the number of mosques and prayer rooms that have disappeared since 1845 at 150–200. Moreover, some changes have occurred in the names of mosques; some mosques are not shown on the map with their current names. Comparing the 1845 map to a contemporary map at the same scale can help to determine the locations of these structures and the mosques that disappeared or took a different name.

The location and denomination of 10 churches outside of the walled city are also indicated on the map.

Another feature of the map that is interesting and significant for the history of Istanbul is the fact that the names of famous slopes, locations, streets, and roads are shown together. This provides data that could not be gathered easily from other sources. In a list that covers Sütlüce to Dolmabahçe, Karanlık Mescid Slope is mentioned two times, once before and once after the Humbaracılar Mescidi Slope; these most likely both refer to the same location. Most of the names on this map are forgotten today, and some of the structures have disappeared because of the housing structure. Even the names of the districts in which these structures were located are no longer current, as districts have been reorganized and renamed during subsequent town planning. Any study carried out with reference to this map will contribute to determining these lost locations.

As discussed earlier, many routes and locations are indicated on the map with numbers and letters corresponding to explanations at the bottom of the map. The numbers in the lists that follow reproduce the original numbers faithfully; but for the sake of clarity, letters on the original map have been replaced here with the corresponding numbers; this substitution is noted at the beginning of the list.

Some elements are not indicated on the map with a number or letter but are directly labeled on the map with their explanations. These are also listed.

The following method is used to make use of the map easier and to simplify finding the names of items that are not included in the lists but are indicated on the map.

This map, which was prepared by the students of Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun (the Imperial School of Naval Engineering) in 27 Rabi’al-awwal 1261/6 June 1845, is made in two sections. The southern section has 42 parts and measures 1894 × 1510. The northern section is the same size and has 48 parts. The existence of this map shows that the same map was duplicated every other three months by Mühendishane.

13 Distances on the map are measured in zirâ-i Osmânî. For information on zirâ see Mehmet Erkal, “Arşın”, DİA, III, 411-413.

14 Semavi Eyice also said of the map, dated 1264/1847–1848 and prepared by the students of Mühendishane-i Berriyye-i Hümayun (the Imperial School of Naval Engineering) and titled Map of Istanbul Mosques: “This map, which in a sense was the first city map of this big city and was prepared by Turks, is a valuable document. However, the first map in this sense is the map dated 1261/1845, prepared by the students of Mühendishane, which is the subject of this study; it has a much larger scale than the one Semavi Eyice mentioned and covers a wider area. The map that Semavi Eyice studied is print and is 77 × 73 with a single section. This map lists the names of 425 mosques as well as the names of some other buildings, places, and neighborhoods. Based on the traits the two maps have in common, it could be argued that the later map used the earlier map as a reference. When the records of these two maps are compared, however, it can be seen that they are different works. On the record of the second map are written the following sentences: “Darü’s-saltanatü’s-seniyye yani Âsitâne-i sa’adet-âsiyâne’nin dâhil-i surda ka’in sarây-i hümâyûn hududu ve Bâbiâlî ve Bâb-i seraskerî ve karakolhâneler ve cevâmi-i serife mevâki-i meshûre ve bi’l-cümle turûk-i âmm- i sânîyenin ve tarafeyninde ka’in iskelelerin harita-i mevziyyesidir ki bu defa Mühendishane-i Beriyye-i Hümâyûn cânibinden bi’l-hendese mesâha olunarak ahz-i tersîm ile mühendishâne-i mezbûr litografya destgâhinda tab ü temsîl olunmustur. [This is the location map indicating the places inside the walled city of the Supreme Sultanate, the borders of the sultan’s palace, the buildings of the Sublime Porte and the Supreme Military Command, police offices, mosques, famous locations, secondary main roads, and the ports on both sides of these roads that are located that is Istanbul. It is drawn by Mühendishane-i Berriyye-i Hümayun with geometrical measures and printed on the lithography press of the same engineering school.]” Recorded by Semavi Eyice with the revision of spelling and proofreading, see Eski İstanbul’dan Notlar, Istanbul: Küre Yayınları, 2009, pp. 54-56.
