Map of Frontiers, Railways, Motor Roads, and Pack Roads (Burma)
A single-colour map of Burma and neighbouring Assam, Yunnan, Thailand and French Indo-China marks frontiers, railways, motor roads and pack roads, with oil fields and the Burma Road labelled. It is a plain reference map with no slogan or argument; the card-stacking tag is only the closest fit, since the selection of features (communications and oil) reflects its evident military use.
