Description

An American map titled "The Literary Digest Liberty Map of the Western Front of the Great World War." The map shows steam railways, highways, mineral roads, tramways, electric railways, rivers, canals, fortified cities, forts, woods, international boundaries, subdivision boundaries, and other details. This map also identifies the areas occupied by the Entente and Teutonic Allies, lines of farthest German and French advance, the battle line before the German Spring Offensive, and the battle line as of May 1, 1918. Several areas are circled in pencil including: Boncourt, Commercy, Toul, Nancy, Belfort, Langres, and Chatillon-sur-Seine. The inset map of the "Complete War Area" shows the areas occupied by the Entente and Teutonic Allies, principal railway routes, rivers, international boundaries, submarine blockade zones, and the battle fronts of the Western, Russian, Italian, Balkan, Palestine, and Mesopotamian campaigns. Le Mans and Toul, France are circled in pencil. The other inset map locates "The Coal and Iron Fields in the Western War Territory." This inset is accompanied by a table that shows the production of pig iron and coal in the United States, Great Britain and Ireland, France, Belgium, Italy, Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the world in 1913 and 1915. Donated by Myron Hill.
