The cartographer Osman Nuri was an esteemed late Ottoman cartographer, who worked for the military office, yet not much is known about his life. In 1909 (1325) he made a wall map of the Arabian Peninsula and around this time a more common wall map of Anatolia (Anadolu haritası) (Osmanlı coğrafya literatürü tarihi.
