Item description from seller

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Blank on verso. Size 33.5 x 22.5 Inches. This is a 1944 Army Map Service road map of northern Luzon in the Philippines. The map depicts the region from the South China Sea and the Mindoro Strait to Cataduanes Island and from Fuga Island and Camiguin Island to Mindoro and the Sibuyan Sea. Roads throughout the region are highlighted in red and are not limited to Luzon alone. Roads of varying grades are also differentiated, with thick red lines denoting 'surfaced, all-weather, regularly maintained' roads, while 'partly surfaced, dry-weather' roads are marked by solid and white dashed lines. Not surfaced roads are illustrated by two thin parallel red lines, while a thin solid red lines mark tracks. Trails are noted by thin dashed lines. Cities and towns throughout the region are labeled, including Manila, Pasay, and Lingayen. Bays, gulfs, points, and peninsulas all along the coast are identified as well, as are the myriad small islands surrounding Luzon. Three insets situated along the right border highlight Lingayen and the immediate vicinity, Manila Bay, and Sorsogon Bay. A small index map situated below the bottom border illustrates and identifies all thirty-three provinces depicted here. Publication History This map was created by the Army Map Service of the U.S. Army in 1944.
