Notes on Panama
Notes on Panama is a military information report compiled by Harry C. Hale for the United States General Staff's 2nd Military Information Division, published in Washington in 1903 for army officers and planners. Its pictures are plain line maps of the canal zone, showing railroad lines, the Chagres River, canal cuts, and the Matachin area with dense hatched markings, alongside a sepia photograph of a lakeside roadway with a stone wall and tall trees; a designer might borrow the hand-drawn contour and survey-map vocabulary for diagrammatic or terrain-based graphics.
