Two very detailed maps of the vicinity of Paris that follow the Seine River. The first map extends from Meulan to Jablines with the city of Paris at bottom center. The second map, directly to the south of the Paris sheet, extends from Sceaux south to Etampes and from Arnoult west to Melun. Each shows fine detail of topography, land types, rivers, roads, railroads, city streets, individual buildings, and much more. Three distance tables are shown below each map. Drawn and engraved at the General War Depot under the direction of Lieutenant General Pelet. Published by Auvray. Maps fold into a stiff paper board slipcase (5.3 x 8.0").
