Guatemala Relief Map

One day at work we had an 1 hour to spare between patients (which is highly unusual), so Sister Call took us to the Relief Map located across the street from the clinic. Our clinic is located in the Historical section of town. Guatemala City was once located in this area at one time. The Presidential Palace, Historical Library and other governmental office are located here. Between 1904 and 1905 two Guatemalans recreated a map of the whole Country of Guatemala and Belize (without computers). It has most of the major cities, volcanos, rivers, ports, oil fields and more. It was inaugurated on October 29, 105. Fascinating ariel of the country.
