Due to the mega projects that have been constructed to help support the large number of Pilgrims that go for Hajj,
The historic geography of the area has become partially lost and mostly invisible. To that end this work had to merge modern maps with several old maps. They include ottoman maps Soviet Union military maps the Great Britain Naval Intelligence Division 1946 Map of Makkah, the Dutch (Netherlands) C. Snouck Hurgroinje 1885 map of Makkah and several other old Makkah illustrations. It also involved several on site trips. Of more consequences with respect to the locations of key homes, mountains names and city layout the primary sources were very early Islamic scholars who lived in Makkah and wrote detailed descriptions of who lived where and with detailed descriptions of their location. These sources include the book History of Makkah by Al-Azraqi who passed away in approximately 250AH (864AD) and contains text originally written in 126AH (743AD) which indicates that the book was his fulfillment and expansion of earlier work by his grandfather Abu- Al-waleed. A second key record is the book the News of Makkah by Al-Fakihi who passed away in 279AH (893AD). Another important source is the book Shifa Al-Gharam which is also a history of Makkah by Al-Fasi who passed away in 832AH (1428AD).
