Central America - Panama Canal (1912) (Map) The presented map offers a geographical depiction of Central America from 1912, with a specific focus on the Panama Canal.

Constructed between 1904 and 1914, the map reflects the then-completed or near-completion stage of the canal project, which significantly altered international shipping routes and trade dynamics by reducing the distance for ships traveling between the two oceans. The map serves as a historical artifact, showcasing not only geographical details but also socio-political contexts of Central America during that period.
