Description

This large-format reference map, printed in June 1958, offers a comprehensive national overview of U.S. military infrastructure at the height of the Cold War. Compiled and published by the Army Map Service of the Corps of Engineers, the map illustrates the extensive spatial reach and organizational complexity of military readiness across the continental United States.

The map distinguishes between the three major service branches—Army (red), Navy (blue), and Air Force (green)—with each installation coded by function: headquarters, bases, districts, depots, airfields, and more. A refined cartographic scheme indicates activity status (active, inactive, industrial, specialized depots), airfield presence, and geographic relationships between Army and Air Force administrative areas, which are demarcated with large Roman numerals and cross-service alignments noted in the legend.

Published amid the post-Korean War military buildup and in the early years of Strategic Air Command prominence, the map documents not only bases and depots but also the evolving logistic and strategic doctrines shaping U.S. global defense posture. It captures the scale of national mobilization infrastructure just as intercontinental ballistic missile deployment and deep Cold War basing strategies began to reshape military geography.
