EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, dated 1890, showcases an intricate layout of the proposed Panama Canal route. The historic document, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the planning stages of one of the most significant engineering projects in history. The map, titled "Map of the Canal," is a testament to the ambition and vision of the canal's architects. With the Atlantic Ocean on the left and the Pacific Ocean on the right, the map illustrates the intended canal route running from the Northwest to the Southeast, traversing the Isthmus of Panama. Panama, located to the east of Colon, is depicted as a narrow strip of land connecting the two vast bodies of water. The map is rich in detail, highlighting various features such as the proposed locks, waterways, and the mountain ranges that the canal would need to navigate. The meticulous planning and engineering required to construct the canal are evident in the map's precise depiction of the topography and geography of the region. This map holds immense historical significance, as it represents a crucial step in the development of the Panama Canal project. The canal, which opened in 1914, revolutionized global transportation by allowing ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans without having to navigate the lengthy and treacherous Cape Horn route. The map serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the human spirit, as well as the profound impact that a single project can have on the world. Its intricate details and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of maps or historical documents.
