The main distinguishing feature of this map of Indonesia is that it includes
the entire island of New Guinea both Irian Jaya to the west and Papua New
Guinea to the east. Most maps of either country usually only show one half
of the island at a time.
 
In the usual Estate publishing fashion there is a pale green pastel colour
used and grey shaded relief to illustrate elevations.
 
The map is divided in two sections with Sumatra, Java & Kalimantan on the
top section of the map and the rest of the islands on the bottom half. There
are also inset maps of Bali & Lombok, Jakarta and Lake Toba. In this way
although the islands are not shown in their correct positions relative to
each other there is a uniform scale that shows enough detail to be useful.
