This example was reprinted without revision by the Survey Department, Federation of Malaya, in 1950, preserving the cartography and wartime information of the June 1945 fourth edition without alteration. The original edition appeared roughly two months before Japan's surrender announcement on 15 August and belongs to the preparations for the planned Allied recapture of Malaya and Singapore. Based on Federated Malay States surveys up to 1941, the map was updated from aerial photographs taken over the Japanese-occupied territory between November 1944 and February 1945. Intelligence information and road classification were supplied by the Inter-Service Topographical Department, South East Asia Command (ISTD, SEAC). Airfield details came from a provisional list dated March 1945, so this information was still subject to confirmation. The original fourth edition was published by the Survey Production Centre, Allied Land Forces South East Asia, revised by 7 Indian Air Survey Company and reproduced by 110 Map Production Company, Royal Engineers. At one inch to the mile, the map records the terrain in detail, with contours at twenty-five-foot intervals. The airfields, naval base and transport network place the island's military infrastructure within its wider landscape.
