A massive and previously unknown 1927 separate issue dissected wall map of Shanghai, China published by E. C. Stacker and Y. Utne for the Whangpoo Conservancy Board. Centered on the Shanghai Bund, the map details development along the Huangpu River (黄浦江, Whangpoo) from, roughly, the modern district of East Gate (小东门), south to Longhuacun (龙华村).
