I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

That looks very much a WW2 map. It is even larger than the WW2 ones we had in the V-force. Mapping in those days was often more stylistic than detailed. It was probably based on post-WW1 surveys. It was normal for the map to be quite old as preparation was time consumming and expensive.

Only today are maps updated almost at the push of a button.
