This wonderfully detailed map of the West Indies and Central America was published in January 1970 with the article "The Netherlands Antilles: Holland in the Caribbean." It includes inset maps of over thirty islands, four cities, and the Panama Canal. A particularly unique feature of this map is the splashdown points of various space missions.
