Note
This map was originally listed under the number of V 2220 a-b as there were TWO maps listed under the same number. They came from the same source, hence the one number. The cataloging of these two maps became confusing, all the more as the second map was in eight pieces. . The original number, V 2220 a-b, was retained for consistency when entered into TMS.
As of January 9, 2013, the two maps have now been cataloged separately. The map with eight pieces will now be listed under V 2220 a-h and the second map, this entry, will now be listed as L.2006.21.
