The Dardanelles map refers to a map of the Dardanelles Strait, which is a narrow passage connecting the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara. It separates the European part of Turkey from its Asian part. The Strait is approximately 61 km (38 mi) long, and between 1.2 km (0.75 mi) and 6km (3.7 mi) wide.

The map shows the location of the Dardanelles Strait and the surrounding areas, such as Istanbul, Gallipoli Peninsula, and the Aegean and Marmara Seas. It also displays various geographic features like islands, bays, and mountains.

The strategic importance of the Dardanelles Strait has been recognized throughout history, as it provides a passage for ships travelling between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. In 1915, during World War I, the Ottoman Empire defended the Strait against an Allied naval attack, leading to the famous Battle of Gallipoli.

Today, the Dardanelles Strait remains a vital waterway for international shipping, and the map is still widely used for navigation and research purposes.
