This uncommon map of Singapore city was issued c. 1930 by Printers Ltd. The map is based on surveys compiled by the Singapore Improvement Trust. Centered on the Downtown Core, the map covers what is today central Singapore from the Labrador Nature Preserve to Marine Parade, extending inland as far as the MacRitchie Reservoir. Streets, districts, rail lines (both proposed and extent), golf courses, and more are noted. The map notes the Civil Aerodrome, or Kallang Airfield, construction on which began in 1931 and finished in 1937. The presence of the Aerodrome here validates our dating, since only the outline of the space is provided, with none of buildings or other structures noted. (more details)
