Abstract:
Maps of the five regions of North America as published in an American geography book in 1912 and known to have been read by 'Abdu'l-Bahá in Haifa/'Akka while writing Tablets of the Divine Plan.
Notes:
See also a map of the Places named by Abdu'l-Bahá in TDP and a letter from the NSA of Canada on a Canadian question.
See the entry for this book at amazon.com; also an article by Dale Lehman on the Tablets of the Divine Plan. Crossreferences:

A copy of this book was sent to the US NSA by Ahmad Sohrab, who indicated that 'Abdu'l-Bahá had seen and read the book (source: personal email to John Conkling from Roger Dahl, archivist at the US Bahá'í National Center; date unknown). The significance of this is that the five regions into which Abdu'l-Bahá divided North America when writing Tablets of the Divine Plan — Northeastern states, Southern states, Central states, Western states, and Canada/Greenland — parallel the regions of this book. Other than rotating these images and converting them from TIF to JPG, I did no digital editing. See an earlier edition of the entire book at archive.org. [J.W., 2010]
