Summary

[edit]
Description Map of Routes for the Department of State’s Courier Service. The map shows the courier routing system that developed after World War II and replaced the Despatch Agent system. The map, although dated 1956, shows the regional centers that developed in Paris, Panamá, and Manila. In many cases, these routes were similar to the shipping routes employed by the Despatch Agents.
