Two-sided map of the United States as well as then-territories Alaska and Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, the Panama Canal Zone, Cuba, and Pacific islands under US sovereignty including Wake, Midway, and Howland Islands. Regions and territories display brief information about acquisition (e.g. Alaska is marked "Ceded by Russia in 1867" and Florida is marked "Ceded by Spain in 1819"). Color coded outlines demarcate grazing districts, Indian reservations, Bureau of Reclamation projects, National Parks & Monuments, National Wildlife Refuges, and National Forests. Cities, lighthouses, and other landmarks are also noted on the map.
