US Army Map Entitled "Assembly Center Destinations"

Description:

This map shows the locations of fifteen temporary Assembly Centers and four permanent Relocation Centers. People taken to Relocation Centers remained there; the rest were kept in the Assembly Centers pending transfer to interior relocation centers. The color scheme of the map was designed to show the center destination of the “persons evacuated” from each exclusion area.
