    Hammond's Five Mile Maps of the Western Front Section No. 2, La Fere to Verdun,
    World War I Ca. 1918.
    This is a very special WW I map produced by C. S. Hammond & Co. in New York City Ca. 1918. As shown on the cover, section 2 is highlighted as center of the three 3 sections in this set, covering the western front of WW I. Five Mile Map was considered a large scale map, five miles to one inch.
    The map shows German advances as of 1914 and March 1918, as well as the battle line as of September 16, 1918. In addition to elevations and cities and towns, the map shows national boundary, railways, canals, aircraft depots, highways, forts, and wireless stations.
    The condition of this map is very good for its age with slight wear to edges and small tears to center folds as expected. The colors of the map remains bright and clear. A rare chance to own a piece of WW I history that is hard to find in this condition.
