This sheet contains four maps related to the Panama Canal. At center is a detailed map showing the entire course of the canal from Limon Bay to Panama City with larger towns and cities noted by small red dots.

A profile at top presents the canal's course and is color-coded to show the excavation work completed by the United States (red) versus French (black). Related text and illustrations fill the verso.
