Maps for confessional geography

These are Izady’s geographic reconstructions and estimates, not a uniform census series or maps of political allegiance. Dates and classifications belong to each image; religious affiliation does not establish support for a government or armed group.

Communities in 1935

A reconstruction of the 1935 distribution, with a French Mandate map and census material reproduced within the image. Useful before the discussion of Greater Lebanon and confessional power-sharing; it is not a present-day demographic map.

Religious geography in 2010

The image identifies its geographic snapshot as 2010 and includes historical comparison charts. Use it for settlement geography; it is not an updated 2026 population estimate or a map of Hezbollah support.
