Offers superb detail regarding both topographical and political elements. Notes cities, roads, trade routes on air, sea and land, and uses shading to display oceanic depths. While Allied World War II maps of this region are fairly common it is extremely rare to come across their Japanese counterparts. All text is in Japanese. This map was created by the Japanese during World War II and was issued as map no. 15, part of a 20 map series detailing of parts of Asia and the Pacific.
