EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, dated March 27, 1944, offers a detailed representation of the terrain and transportation networks in China, Korea, Formosa (Taiwan), and the southern part of Japan during World War II. Compiled and drawn in the Branch of Research and Analysis of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), this map was an essential tool for military planning and intelligence gathering during the conflict. The map schematically depicts the highlands as mountains, providing a clear visualization of the rugged topography in the region. It also marks key transportation routes, including railways, major roads, and selected trails, enabling military strategists to plan logistical operations and assess potential supply lines. The main towns and cities are also indicated, providing valuable context for understanding the geopolitical landscape of the time. This map is part of a larger collection of four maps of the Far East, which were used by C E R Clarabut of Combined Operations between 1944 and 1945. The collection includes a large-scale map of China, as well as more detailed maps of Canton and Hong Kong and the area around Chittagong in India and Burma. The maps were crucial for planning and executing military campaigns in the region and offer a fascinating glimpse into the intelligence gathering and strategic planning efforts of the Allied forces during World War II.
