This pamphlet features five colorful pictorial maps by White including 4 of specific islands and 1 of the entire chain. Each "cartograph" is drawn in a whimsical, humorous style much like Jo Mora's celebrated work of the same period. Cartoonish characters populate each with major roads and points of interest noted, which actually make them fairly useful maps for the tourist. Each has a ribbon title banner and a descriptive cartouche. One sheet has maps on both sides (Maui and Territory of Hawaii), so four could be presented at the same time. Front wrapper features a hula dancer. Issued by the Hawaii Tourist Bureau. Edited, published, and distributed by George T. Armitage, Honolulu, 1942.
Accompanied by two photographic illustrations related to Pearl Harbor.
