Hand colored map of the Near East. At the top is the Byzantine Empire, which encircles the Seljuq Turks from north, west and south. Below those two groups are the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia on the west and the County of Edessa on the east. Stretching along the coast below them are the Principality of Antioch, the County of Tripoli and the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, chief of the Catholic Crusader states. To the east of the coast is Emirate of Damascus and the Dominion of the Atabeks. At the bottom of the map is the Caliphate of Cairo.
