This large and detailed map was "compiled from data on file in the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey: Hydrographic Office: Hawaiian Government Surveys, and other authentic sources under the direction of I. P. Berthrong chief of drafting division." It is beautifully colored with lithographic shading to convey terrain. Published under the direction of the commissioner Fred Dennett. A large inset (12.5 x 7.5") at lower left gives a wider view of the entire archipelago and notes in red the Hawaiian Islands Bird Reservation. A small table at bottom gives the distances to the principle ports in the Pacific Ocean from Honolulu.
