This map was produced by the United States Army in 1943 for use by the War Department and the Allies during the Second World War. It is a copy of an earlier map published by José Albelda, an engineer with the Huelva Port Authority, in 1920.
As this is a copy, the map shows Huelva as it was in 1920, when it still had 34,500 inhabitants, and does not reflect the growth the city had experienced by 1943, when it already had 53,000 inhabitants.
The map reflects the importance of the city's rivers, with the Odiel River flowing through the west of the city, as well as a more general view at the bottom, where you can also see the importance of the Tinto River and the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.
Despite the few areas and buildings labelled on the map, it is surprising to see the importance given to the entire railway network, as well as the land allocated to the Riotinto company in the south, near the dock that was under construction. This is simply a reflection of the great importance of this industrial activity in the city of Huelva at that time.
