Description: A star–shaped world map from 1888 using a polar projection to show oceanic and inland drainage basins. This map is color–coded to show the land areas that drain into the Atlantic–Arctic, Pacific, and Indian oceans, and inland watersheds that do not drain to the oceans. The land area and relative sizes of the watersheds is given in square miles, including the Atlantic–Arctic (26,400,000 sq. miles), inland basins (11,500,000 sq. miles), Pacific (7,500,000 sq. miles), and Indian Ocean watershed (6,700,000 sq. miles).
