This atlas version of an earlier Harrison map first published in Fortune’s September 1940 Atlas for the U.S. Citizen turns the North Atlantic into a corridor rather than a barrier. The sepia relief view highlights Iceland, Greenland, Labrador, Newfoundland and the St. Lawrence as strategically crucial stepping-stones between American arms production and Europe. Harrison’s text makes the logistical argument: Weapons made in Pittsburgh, Chicago and Detroit reach the European battlefront only through northern harbours, convoy routes, airfields and weather stations. Reissued in June 1944, with the success of the Normandy landings dependent on Atlantic supply, the map shows why bleak northern coasts had become indispensable strategic infrastructure.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52934517817691,"sku":"P-8-006744","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-006744a.jpg?v=1778179193","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/northeast-to-europe-persuasive-map-world-war-2-richard-edes-harrison-1944-p-8-006744","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
