We don't have this map of Barbuda by the Army Map Service. But, we do have
in stock a 9-sheet topographic map by the British. "Barbuda Lesser
Antilles." DOS 257. Ed. 1. 1970. Scale is 1:10,000.
Here's the listing on our web site with index map:
http://www.omnimap.com/catalog/int/barbuda.htm
We purchase thousands of DOS maps from the British Ordnance Survey when
they shut down their international mapping in 2003.
Thank you,
