<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Would you mind to set my possible error straight?</p>
<p>In my list of supplements I have 2 maps listed under February 1892, and wonder if they are 2 separate maps or if it is just one map with 2 different names.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>War Maps from the <em>National Geographic</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The National Geographic Society has a rich history of providing its members up-to-date information on the human condition. This, unfortunately, includes war.

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The National Geographic Society has a rich history of providing its members up-to-date information on the human condition. This, unfortunately, includes war. The Society’s cartography department is no exception to this effort, and its war maps date back almost to its beginning. In December 1899, less than twelve years after its founding, the Society issued its first war map: “The Seat of War in Africa.” It shows the region of southern Africa where the British were engaged in a series of wars – the Boer Wars against the Dutch settlers, and the Zulu Wars against the indigenous population.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151815057?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151815057?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Less than twenty years later, America was involved in its own war, World War I. The American Expeditionary Force (AEF) was sent to bolster the British and French troops along the Western Front in France and Belgium, and the <em>National Geographic</em> took its members there with one of the most detailed maps of the region ever published: “The Western Theater of War.” Printed in May 1918, the map was designed to be cut and taped to show the entire Western Front to scale.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151815070?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151815070?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Then came the big war, World War II. The cartography department was in high gear by then and the Society made good use of it. The series of maps produced in the early and mid-forties were combined and referred to as “Maps for Victory.” They were used extensively by our military, and by those of our allies. I will not attempt to present all of them, just a select few. In February and July of 1942, the Society issues a pair of maps entitled “Theater of War in the Pacific Ocean” and “Theater of War Europe, Africa and Western Asia” respectively.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Toward the end of the conflict, the cartography department issues another pair of maps zeroing in on the enemy strongholds. In April 1944 the map of “Japan and Adjacent Regions of Asia and the Pacific Ocean” was published followed shortly, in July 1944 by the map of “Germany and Its Approaches.” With these maps members could follow the news all the way to victory.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Then came the Korean War. The Society did not print a war map for this “police action” and members had to rely on the most recent map of the area. Fortunately, the cartography department had issued a map in December 1945, shortly after Japan’s surrender. The map, entitled “Japan and Korea,” showed enough detail to follow the war, but Korea was only a small part of the map.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151815480?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151815480?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Fifty years after the Korean war ended the Society finally issued its war map in July 2003. It is two-sided with an Atlas style map entitled "The Two Koreas" and an infographic entitled "The Forgotten War."</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11263999493?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11263999493?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The next undeclared war was in the Sixties, the Vietnam War. The Society printed not one but two map for this conflict. In January 1965 it published the map of “Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Eastern Thailand” and in February 1967 it printed a larger, more detailed map of “Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand.”</span></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151815859?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151815859?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The next war map was issued in February 1991 for the First Gulf War. It is a two-sided map showing the Middle East. One side is an atlas-style map: “Middle East” and the other is an infographic map: “States in Turmoil, the Middle East.” The infographic shows troop strengths and other military data for all the counties in the area. 50,000 copies of this map were provided to the armed forces of the U. S., much like they did during World War II.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Then came 9/11 and not one but two wars as a result. First up, the Afghanistan War. In the December 2001 issue of <em>National Geographic</em>, a two-sided map was issued. One side is an atlas-style map of “Afghanistan and Pakistan” and the other side is a physical map/infographic entitled “Afghanistan, Land in Crisis.”</span></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151816870?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151816870?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And in October 2002 the Society published a two-sided map for the Second Iraq War. One side is an atlas-styled map entitled “Heart of the Middle East” and the other side is a physical map/infographic entitled “Middle East, Crossroads of Faith and Conflict.”</span></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151816893?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151816893?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In April 2005, one-hundred forty years after the fact, the Society issued a retro war map entitled “Battles of the Civil War.” On the flip side is an infographic entitled “A Nation Transformed by Civil War.”</span></p>
<p><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151817283?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/11151817283?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And finally, in June 2023, the Society issued a two-sided map for the war of our time, the Ukraine War. The first side is an atlas-style map entitled “Ukraine – A Year of War: February 2022-February 2023” and the other side is a regional map of Europe entitled “NATO, Geopolitics, and the Fight to Fuel Europe” showing the politics involved in the war.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>A Visual Presentation of Map Indices</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>and a call for scanned images of Map Index covers</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Combining my fascination with metadata and my general love of maps, the National Geographic Map Index series is one of my favorite portions of my overall collection. The maps, with positioned letter/number grid around their borders, together with the alphabetized list of place names and grid locations make perusing those maps easier and, at least to me, more enjoyable. That map/list combination is also the making of an Atlas; and ironically, the Atlas Series of map supplements during the late fifties and the sixties was what killed the “Golden Age” of Map Indices, the period of the “shaded seal” with its globe. After that series of maps, and the printing of the multiple-index for them, the Society moved on to printing Atlases. They did try to reboot the Map Indices three different times, each one fizzled out; and by 1990 they came to an end. It is a little nebulous as to the exact number of Map Indices in the series but I peg it at 103.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I recently scanned the covers of my Map Index collection (sadly I only have 90) and posted them here at the ‘Corner in an Album. I also included two cover images of Indices not in my possession. I am asking any collector out there who have any of the Map Indices I have listed below to send me (or post) scanned images of the covers. The list is of all the Indices I still need (hint, hint). The two for which I have images are of poor quality and I could use better. I should be able to “drag n’ drop” the images into the Album in their proper places (I hope, it is a little twitchy). Sadly, albums only hold 100 images, so if I get all 103, I’ll have some decisions to make into how to fit them in.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>First, here is the <a href="http://ngscollectors.ning.com/photo/album/show?id=1029239%3AAlbum%3A283835&xg_source=activity" target="_self">Album</a>. Enjoy at your leisure.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>And here is a list of Map Indices for which I need Cover images:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1918 – Western Theater of War</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1921 – New Europe</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1934 – Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1938 – South America</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1967 – Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">1968 </span><span><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">– United States</span></span></strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1968 – Southeast Asia</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1969 – West Indies and Central America</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1975 – World</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1978 – World (Revision)</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1980 – United States/Portrait USA (Revision)</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">1982 – World/Ocean Floor</span></strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>1985 – United States/Federal Lands (Revision)</strong></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The history of the Map Index series is very easy to see as portrayed by their covers. It starts with experimentation. The first one had an odd size. They soon conformed to a standard size and the “golden age” began in the ‘twenties. That age lasted from (at least 1929) and ended in 1958. It can be broken up into two periods, the first has a shaded seal displaying a globe at the top of the cover. That spanned 1929 to 1942. Later in 1942, the seal was moved down to the center of the cover. It stayed there until 1958, when the Atlas Series of map supplements choked out the supply of maps needed for individual indices. The first reboot attempt occurred in 1961 with the printing of the only Non-supplement Map Index ever issued, the one of the USSR. The cover still had the yellow border, but the seal was missing leaving a plain white background. There were only two more of those indices printed, the last in 1965. Starting in 1967, a second reboot was attempted, this time with a hip new cover. It not only contained an image of the map being indexed, but also a small image of the cover from the <em>National Geographic</em> in which the map was a supplement. There was a total of nine of these indices, the last being issued in 1971. The last and final reboot of the Map Index series occurred in 1975 with the issue of an index for a map of the world. It was followed a year later with one of the US. Those two maps were revised and reissued about three years after the first. The three-year cycle continued with the maps being revised and the back pictorial changing every other cycle. The fifth pair of World/USA Map Indices were the last, and by 1990 the end of a fascinating series had finally come.</span></p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I have recently bought some map supplements and the seller added one map stating "Mexico from 20s".</p>
<p>After checking the 20s, all I found was a map supplement from 1911, 1914 and 1916.</p>
<p>Is there a way to find out what year did I get?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>While collating my collection & duplicates of NGM map supplements this week, I realized there is a printing variation for the October 1996 supplement. See the scan side-by-side images below. One has a shaded border outside of the inner black-line border, and one does not. The one without features a bolder black line around the perimeter than the one with the color/shaded bordering. </p>
<p>I don't see anything on the non-border copy to indicate it was a reprint or revision of any sort.…</p>

<p>I don't see anything on the non-border copy to indicate it was a reprint or revision of any sort. Also, of the 5 copies of this supp I have, 4 are with border, only one is without.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The back side of the poster is alliteratively titled "Protection Priorities". Its land map is entitle "Saving Critical Landscapes" and the ocean map is called "Protecting the Oceans".</span></p>
