摘要

在第二次世界大战期间,西非由于通往北非的空中增援路线而在战略上变得更加重要。西非空中增援路线(WARR)穿过尼日利亚殖民地进入非洲内陆。地理知识的生产对于这些航空物流业务的顺利运行非常重要。为了支持英国的战争,美国在空中支援路线上,为此参与了地图的制作。因此,本文探讨了第二次世界大战期间使用的美国军事地图。特别地,它检查了1942年的图像西北Yorùbáland。本文认为,《总参谋部地理处2465》系列再现的非洲景观具有思想意义。作为一种社会实践,在这场全球冲突中,制图导致了对西非这部分地区的进一步领土秩序和对地面和空中的控制。这些盟军军事地图描绘了跨非洲航线沿线的特定地理位置,具有精确的战略目的,但它们也对更广泛的文化地理具有意识形态意义。

An Image of Northwest Yorùbáland during World War II
West Africa became more strategically important during the Second World War owing to the air reinforcement route to Northeast Africa. The West African Air Reinforcement Route (WARR) went across the colony of Nigeria into the African interior. Geographical knowledge production was important for the smooth running of these air logistics operations. The United States, which came on the air supply route in support of the British war effort, was involved in map production for this purpose. Hence, this paper explores the United States military cartography of WARR, used during the Second World War. In particular, it examines the 1942 image of Northwest Yorùbáland. This paper contends that the reproduced African landscapes of the Geographical Section of the General Staff (GSGS) 2465 Series convey ideological meanings. As a social practice, cartography during this global conflict resulted in further territorial ordering and control over the ground and air space of this part of West Africa. These Allied military maps depicted specific geographies along the trans-African air route, with precise strategic purpose, but they also had ideological implications for wider cultural geographies.
