As such it serves as the setting for the Heartland of Judah and Land of Benjamin and Approaches detail maps (maps 6 and 7). Site and regional names and roads can be clearly read on the printed map.

The central Hill country on this map is surrounded by the Shephelah (Lowland) and coastal plain of Philistia to the west, the Dead Sea and high Transjordanian Plateau of Moab and Medeba Plateau to the east, the Negev basin to the south, and the land of Benjamin and Hill Country of Ephraim to the north.

These include patriarchal sojourns, events from the books of Joshua and Judges, the kingdoms of David and later kings of Judah as well as many of the events recorded in the books of the prophets.Much of Maccabean history also can be traced on this map.
