Description
Civil Defense Fallout Forecast Map c.1960.
This large, vintage Fallout Forecast map was issued by the District of Columbia Office of Civil Defense. This map contained vital planning information for American citizens. Dated 1960, it was released during the early days of the Cold War when the fear of nuclear war was ever present.
The white map, with clean black lines, demonstrates the potential fallout locations across America. It measures 28.5 x 40.5" and features detailed longitude and latitudes of the potential radioactive decay.
After World War II, the world was in chaos. The fear of an attack prompted student drills, bomb shelters, a nationwide panic. Maps such as this one furthered America's national campaign to protect their citizens from the dangers of fallout.
These items provided directly by Mr. Powers' son, expert public speaker on the U-2 Incident and Cold War History, Francis Gary Powers Jr.
