Pub Title:
Pictorial Map of the Republic of Panama with the Canal Zone. Designed and copyrighted by Clark Teegarden and John F. Herman. (insets) Canal Zone and Vicinity. Panama - The Crossroads of the World.
Pub Note:
Date estimated. Mounted on cloth. Authors also made a similar map of Washington state around 1945. "The Panama Map in particular was quite a success, and they got royalties. There were so many service and Canal Zone personnel there, and it was kind of a souvenir.' (from Teegarden's obituary in the Seattle Times). The pictographs highlight the animal life and characteristics of the area, including "the annual Zebra Swallowtail migration across Panama...," "old Indian gold mines," "the waters of Panama (Indian word meaning abundance of fish) are a mecca for game fishermen."
