First Century Palestine: Index of Villages, Towns, and Cities

The grid upon which the map is constructed is the standard MR grid system used in many archaeological reports and other descriptive literature of the region, such as the Anchor Bible Dictionary. In this grid system, the first three digits designate a position on the north-south axis of the map while the second three digits designate a position on the east-west axis, the intersection of the two lines being the location of the index item on the map. On the map itself, the north-south coordinates read vertically while the east-west coordinates read horizontally.

The map shows the location of all the villages and towns mentioned in Part IV of The Urantia Book. The index lists these as well as other towns and villages which were known to have existed at the time of Jesus, but which do not appear on the map.

Look up the name of any first-century place location. Coordinates and map grids are taken from the Anchor Bible Atlas and appear on THE MAP. Letters below are linked to corresponding sections of the index:
