Find three maps on the internet
A.
Source
of map A. from Formosa (Taiwan) City Plans
This
is one of series map created in 1945 by U.S. Army Air Force in
Pacific theater for description cities of Imperial Japan
administrated Taiwan Island. U.S. Army Air Force highly dependent on
aerial photograph to gain detail of targets such as garrison,
factory, government office, rail station and airfield...etc. Many of
the street pattern still identifiable on today's satellite map and
find where are high probability of unexposed bomb that dropped from
U.S. Army Air Force.
B.
Original
source titles as “old art in 1928/01/03 Taiwan
daily News ”.
The map includes railroad route, cities, and famous tourism
attractions such as eight scenery place and twelve mountains. Highest
mountain names Niitakayama
(Today's Yushan) in Japanese style. Creating this map requires a newspaper agency to collect data
from official's railroad department and tourism places. This requires men powers on late 20s and 30s.
C.
Third map from one of maps on L.A. Metro "Past Visions of L.A.'s Transportation Future."
This
map notes early planning of create Mass Rapit Transit for Great Los
Angeles. Some of the route and city stations constructed under
today's Metro rail system and some of them only exist on planning. My
home Cerritos never have any train station but still have connect by
Long Beach Transit bus route to Metro Norwalk station. One of route from Universal
city to Canoga Park was realized under Metro Orange Line Rapit Bus.
Surly City of Los Angeles spent money to palnning train system even
thought put money on motor transportation and highway construction
more cheaper on that age...
