This crisply engraved map shows the area of operations south of Cagayan along the Cagayan and Iponah Rivers. North is oriented to the bottom in this post-Spanish-American War map that details the operations against insurgents prior to the United States gaining sovereignty in 1902. It is filled with remarkable detail on a scale of 1 mile per inch; the villages of Verra, Carmen, Tagsulip, Gango, Talacag, rivers and topographic information. Interesting notes include the Gold Region, Wild Pigs, a village burned by Morosin in 1890, Aboriginal (Montesses) regions, and a "Deep path worn by ages of travel to depth of 8 to 10 ft. used as fortifications by insurgents." Drawn by L. Schloss under the direction of Major J.F. Case. An uncommon issue that depicts an interesting time in the history of the Philippines.
