The dashed lines indicate coral reefs,
the crossed areas are the atolls, and
water depths are marked. In the
lower right, Öberg has placed an
arrow and inscribed “My home”
(“Mit bostad”) and just above “The
Native Village” (“Infödningarnas
By”). See similar map by Sarfert,
who later stayed at the atoll in Aug.–
Nov. 1910.
