When this map was published in June of 1945, World War II was about to come to an end, but China would see little relief. With their enemy Japan defeated, China was plunged into a four-year civil war. This historic map, which accompanied the article "China Fights Erosion with U.S. Aid," is a wonderful companion to the China maps of 1912, 1964, and 1991. The 1945 China map features: • Thousands of place names including cities and towns • Colorful, distinct country borders • Roads, canals, oil pipelines • Principal railways, dismantled railways, and railways projected or under construction • Chinese walls and ruins
Coverage Area: China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan (Formosa), Bhutan, Nepal, Burma
