In the lower right-hand corner is the legend with the symbols of natural resources, while the entire left-hand side is dominated by the list of graphic symbols for reading the map, including communication routes, active and exhausted mines, and processing and export centres. Designed by cartographer Moussa Saadi, engraved by J.F. Arembourg and published by the Geological Survey of Morocco in 1975 for Elecro-Watt of Zurich.
