Notes:
A promotional map for the city of Tacoma, Washington. The Pacific is distorted so that the distance from the West Coast to China and Japan appears to be less than the distance from Tacoma to Portland. For two somewhat similar maps, see ID #1181, Map Showing Geographical and Central Position of United States for Distribution of Products (1915), and ID #1168, Berkeley's Strategic Position (1910).
