Map of the Philippines of 1945 from National Geographic

1945 Philippines Map

A few months before this map was published by National Geographic in March 1945, the Philippines were liberated by MacArthur's forces from the Japanese. The map accompanied the article "What Luzon Means to Uncle Sam."

On this map you will find the provinces and their capitals, airfields, railways and roads as well as geographical features such as mountains, rivers and lakes. Inserted maps show a location map of the Philippines, the Gulf of Lingayen and the capital Manila.

The map is a beautiful collector's item for those who are interested in cards from the time of the Second World War.
