- Notes:
- This book, encouraging Americans to take up farming, emphasizes the "Central Position" of the U.S. for distributing farm products to other countries - using a map centered on the U.S. Had the same map been centered, say, on Australia or India, the position of the U.S. would have been peripheral.
For a similar map, see ID #1168, Berkeley's Strategic Position (1910).
