EDITORS COMMENTS
This map, titled "Map of Central America shewing the Proposed Routes of Communication between the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans," was created by John Dower in 1856. The map provides a detailed view of Central America, highlighting the proposed routes for interoceanic communication, aimed at connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The map includes several proposed routes, such as the canal by way of the Rio Sapoa, railway via Rio Lajas to Port San Juan, canal from Lake Managua to Port Tamarinda, and the canal from Lake Managua to Gulf of Fonseca. Additionally, an enlarged map of British Honduras (Belize) and the islands of Roatan, Bonacca, and others is included in the print. The map serves as a testament to the European exploration and interest in Central America during the 19th century. The proposed routes for interoceanic communication were a significant undertaking, driven by the desire to shorten travel times and facilitate trade and diplomatic relations between the Atlantic and Pacific worlds. The map also highlights the disputed territories of British Honduras and the Mosquito Shore, reflecting the political tensions and territorial claims of the time. The European influence is further evident in the depiction of the "Gold District" and various native tribes. The map was published in the Illustrated London News, providing insight into the geographical and political knowledge of the era. The proposed routes and territorial claims represented in this map played a crucial role in shaping the future of Central America and its relationship with the wider world.
