Summary

Government map (some maps in the series include the following: "Compiled by Lands and Surveys, Betio, Tarawa") with inscription "H Green 20/4/1970". Original obtained either directly from GEIDA of from a U.S. Government source (USACOE) as a blueline printing sometime in the 1970s. I believe these maps were produced for government use by the Gilbert Islands Colony. I have scanned and slightly altered the original (1/50,000 scale). Maps such as this one showing village locations on Pacific islands are difficult to come by. - Marshman 18:16, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
