Description
This is a July 1929 Cravens, Dargan and Company map of the West Indies highlighting hurricane paths. Dozens of storms are traced over the course of 42 years, from 1887 until 1928.
A Closer Look
Depicting the region from Mexico east to the Cape Verde Islands and from North Carolina south to northern South America, numerous red lines follow hurricane paths across the Atlantic and the Caribbean to landfall in the United States and Mexico. Each track is dated by year and follows the hurricane from formation to the map's border or, in the case of one hurricane from 1895, back out into the Atlantic.Publication History and Census
