This page contains most of the information abstractable from
the eight sample maps themselves that seemed likely to be useful for
cataloging them. I may have forgotten occasionally to note
whether a map is colored or not, or how carefully it
records latitude and longitude, but most of the textual
information is here, identified as to its location on the
map. Each map or other cartographic item is linked with the
-icon to the corresponding completed record,
allowing one to jump back and forth between the two.

[Description: Bird's eye view of Cornell campus from roughly the south-southwest with index of university buildings and departments keyed to numbers printed on the map. No scale given. No publication information given. No date given. Apparently a black-and-white reproduction or version of an otherwise identical colored map (also in the collection) which also contains other area maps on its verso and bears the following title on its front panel: Campus and Area Maps / Cornell University.]
Dimensions 46 x 82 on sheet 65 x 86 cm, measuring from inside the line that borders the map proper. Most index material outside the map proper.
Actually consists of two maps, one of Northeast China, one of Southeast China, on the two sides of the sheet. Description below applies only to the latter. For present purposes, I will regard the other map as being a separate bibliographic item.
Southeast China map contains two segments, Formosa being in an (as it were) separate map. But is located in the correct place relative to the mainland, and is to the same scale.
