(Old Maps, 20th Century Maps, Asia, Southeast Asia, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos).

Issued 1958, Edinburgh by John Bartholomew & Son for the Geographic Institute.

Mid 20th century color folio sheet color lithographed map. 

A large oversized map with a remarkable level of detail capturing this area shortly after the Second World War. The scale of the map makes it particularly interesting to those looking for more detail than typically seen on commercial American produced maps of this era. The key locates "main civil airports" as well as oil pipe lines, and mangrove swamps.

Well preserved, clean, nice looking example with pleasing age patina.

Original center fold as issued.

Sheet Measures c. 19 1/4" H x 24" W.
