1946 United States of America

This beautiful map of the United States was published in National Geographic Magazine in July 1946.

On this map you will find all 48 states in 1946 with their capitals and many other places, major highways of that time, southern Canada and northern Mexico, rivers, lakes and mountains with their heights as well as national parks and monuments.

On a map section, the proposed area is located, in which the not yet settled United Nations would find their permanent home. Another map section shows the area of Canada east of Maine.
