  • غطَّت الأراضي العُثمانيَّة المنطقة المُمتدة من القرم شمالًا إلى دلتا النيل جنوبًا، وغربًا وُصولًا إلى بحر إيجة، ثُمَّ شرقًا وُصولًا إلى بحر قزوين والخليج العربي.
  • تشتملُ على البلاد التي كانت تُشكِّلُ جُزءًا من الدولة العُثمانيَّة واليوم تتفرَّع إلى كُلٍ من تُركيَّا، والعراق، والكُويت، وسوريا، والأُردُن، وإسرائيل والأراضي الفلسطينيَّة، وأرمينيا، وجورجيا، وأذربيجان، مع أقسامٍ من إيران المُجاورة، واليونان، ومصر، وأوكرانيا.
  • في هذه الخريطة، حدَّد كولتون عدَّة مُدن، وبلدات، وحُصُون، وأنهار، وواحات صحراويَّة، ومجموعة من المعالم الطوبوغرافيَّة. أُحيطت الخريطة بِالإطار اللولبي النمطي الذي يُميِّزُ أعمال كولتون.
  • عادت حُقوق التأليف والنشر إلى المُؤلِّف جوزيف هاتشينز كولتون، ونُشرت سنة 1855. مكان النشر هو مكتب كولتون الذي كان قائمًا في شارع وليم رقم 172 بِمدينة نيويورك. أُدرجت الخريطة في الصفحة رقم 25 من المُجلَّد الثاني لِلطبعة الأولى من أطلس جورج واشنطن العالمي لِكولتون.
