Published in February 1961, the South Central United States map features Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and much of New Mexico. This is one map in a series of six sectional maps of the United States published between 1958 and 1961. Intercontinental ballistic missile bases make it evident that this map was printed during a particularly strained period of the Cold War.
