Now that there are few remaining hashers in Moscow, I decided to do a new map for my new location - namely Israel.

Obviously, since Israel (unlike Moscow) includes multiple graticules, it's going to be a good deal larger...

...large enough, it turns out, that it's worth including an extra longitude line at the bottom.


Color explanation:

  • Blue: Mediterranean Sea[1]
  • Green: land but no Israeli land (incl. West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights)
  • Orange: this centicule is named after a location in another country (Egypt, Jordan, Syria, or Lebanon)
  • Light orange: this centicule is named after a location in West Bank or Gaza
  • Yellow: this centicule is named after a location in the Golan Heights
  • Pink: my home centicule[2]


Note: the map is unfinished at the moment, so a lot of centicules are just labeled "example". This should hopefully change later.
Also note: I did not even try for consistency in transliteration. For the smaller places I mostly went with the Wikipedia article, if there was one, and just tried to guesstimate otherwise.

See also: the map index to the 1948 Survey of Palestine, which covers areas of similar size to centicules. Unexpectedly many matches. (Doesn't cover the south, or at least not on that sheet.)

  1. Jump up ↑ There are - just barely - no centicules fully inside the Dead Sea, and there are no centicules within the map area fully inside the Red Sea.
  2. Jump up ↑ By less than a block - there's a reason I'm splitting the city.
  3. Jump up ↑ This centicule includes the highest point of Israel including occupied Golan Heights.
  4. Jump up ↑ Nof HaGalil?
  5. Jump up ↑ The village of Al-Hamah-al-Arduniyah, Jordan, located in the very corner of this centicule, is much larger, but this centicule is almost entirely on Israeli territory, so I decided it was dishonest to name it after a Jordanian place.
  6. Jump up ↑ Yoqne'am Illit; the name is because the next centicule west wouldn't have a good name option otherwise.
  7. Jump up ↑ Contains parts of Yoqne'am Illit, as well as the old town of Yoqne'am proper.
  8. Jump up ↑ Nazareth SW?
  9. Jump up ↑ Note that the two branches of Ashdot Ya'akov are larger when combined.
  10. Jump up ↑ That is, the old city of Caesarea Maritima; modern Kesarya is almost entirely outside this centicule.
  11. Jump up ↑ Ramat Gan is slightly smaller; Petah Tikva reaches too far into the next centicule east. I couldn't find a good name for the entire area.
  12. Jump up ↑ Including the area of Modiin Illit, nominally on West Bank territory.
  13. Jump up ↑ Pa'ate Modiin?
  14. Jump up ↑ The census of Israel apparently does not keep track of settlements under 100 people; the Palestinian settlement of Deir Hajla is pop 17 and the nearby Israeli settlement might be larger. In any case, the monastery of the same name is just barely inside this centicule.
  15. Jump up ↑ Both the Palestinian settlement of Tuqu' and the Israeli settlement of Tekoa are in this centicule; this name (used on Wikipedia for the Palestinian settlement) could match either.
  16. Jump up ↑ A mountain. There are apparently no settlements in this centicule.
  17. Jump up ↑ This centicule contains a small section of the Israeli part of the Dead Sea, but no Israeli land as such.
  18. Jump up ↑ Most of Sderot is actually located in the Beit Lahia centicule, but this is just a spectacularly empty centicule otherwise.
  19. Jump up ↑ The village, not the beach, which is in the next graticule east.
  20. Jump up ↑ Most of this centicule is in the Dead Sea, but some unnamed capes protrude into it, as does a tiny section of the public beach at Ein Gedi.
  21. Jump up ↑ Ofaqim S?
  22. Jump up ↑ Contains some industrial areas, a few outlying residential areas, and the local airport.
  23. Jump up ↑ Arab Potash Canal?
  24. Jump up ↑ There's approximately nothing else of note in this centicule. Even the "forest" is a tiny field.
  25. Jump up ↑ an archaeological site.
  26. Jump up ↑ Yes, I know it's not a place. There's just nothing there except the evaporation pools and some apparently-unnamed shores.
  27. Jump up ↑ El Fezir?
  28. Jump up ↑ Mezad Tamar?
  29. Jump up ↑ The centicule boundary splits the village of Idan almost exactly in half; there appear to be no other settlements over 100 people in either centicule.
  30. Jump up ↑ The settlement of Shaharut, pop 179, is partly located in this centicule.
  31. Jump up ↑ The settlement of Elifaz, pop 166, is also in this centicule.
