- I did georeferencing and digitizing for it, but it will be more accurate to have the original one.
To have the vector daa there are two solutions:
1) Ask to the original autor if he can facilitate it (Mustafa M. Al Kuisi )
2) Vectorize the map following these tested steps
Raster -> Vector
2.1) Clean letters and reference using a graphic soft like paintbrush
2.2) Save the image ONLY with a color pallet (p.e. 16 colors). This process will flat colors
2,3) Georefencing the image
2.4) with a program like QGIS make the transformation from raster to vector
2.5) identify your polygons. You also will find some artifact at borders. Identify them as you desire.
2.5) with the purpose of artifacts cleaning, you mus perform polygon agregation by the id you choosed.
2.6) Voila, it is done. Much quicker and precise than digitizing.
By the way, about point 2.5, artifacts are small and identifyble by its area. My recomendation is select these artifcats in a border using a pointer, and then select by area and then identify them as you desire. Area calculation of each polygon can be make by the attribute table first creating an area item and the by assigning their value by instructions like GetArea(geometry) or area(geometry) or any instruction like the last.
I hope those recomendations will help you.
I agree with prof Gabriel Asato

INRE: "Accurate" and "Original": By original, do you mean the source that was used to produced the simplified map provided? A superficial examination would see that it is derived from or similar to https://bit.ly/37JKuD9 from https://certmapper.cr.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/geology/arabian/MapServer ( shapefiles are available from the USGS )... I am not a geologist, but there are also derivatives of this base map, and the source(s) might also have been one of those.
I have made part of the work following the directions I gave to all of you. If you want to have the final map you have to continue with the work.
I attached the shapefile to this answer. Regards
send it to me on [email protected] and i will reurn it as shape file.
