Description

An American map titled "The World Map." The map shows principal railroads, elevations, depths, boundaries as of September 1, 1939, and other details. Included are inset maps that show the Allied and Central Powers in the First World War and the United Nations, Axis, and other countries involved in the Second World War. Two more insets highlight the North and South poles. This map is one of a set of maps that have been removed from an album titled "United States of America: United States Army Air Forces." Another note within the album read: "Prepared by Cartographic Branch, AC/AS-2 Intelligence."
