| This a map of the Philippines in 1921 during the American Occupation. I adapted this map from the old Collier's 1921 Map of the Philippine Islands. |
The major differences of this map from the modern (c 2017) Philippine map are as follows:
LUZON
- The aggregate of Mountain Province:
- the modern-day Apayao, Kalinga, Ifugao and Benguet
- Bontoc with Lepanto is now named Mountain Province
- Amburayan is now part of Ilocos Sur
- Isabela (with Quirino in it)
- Metro Manila is associated with Rizal Province
- Tayabas (now Aurora, Quezon and Marinduque)
- Mindoro (now Occidental and Oriental Mindoro)
- Ambos Camarines or the "Two Camarines" (now Camarines Norte and Sur)
- Albay (with Catanduanes)
VISAYAS
- Capiz (with Aklan)
- Iloilo (with Guimaras)
- Negros Oriental (with Siquijor)
- Leyte as a whole (now Leyte and Southern Leyte)
- Samar as a whole (now Northern Samar, Samar, and Eastern Samar)
MINDANAO
- Misamis (now Camiguin, Misamis Occidental and Oriental)
- Agusan (now Agusan del Norte, A. del Sur, and Bukidnon)
- Surigao (now Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, and S. del Sur)
- Moro Province - the rest of Mindanao (the two Lanaos, Zamboanga Peninsula Region, Davao Region, Cotabato Region [SOCCSKSARGEN and Maguindanao], and the Sulu Archipelago
*This the first in a series of "refurbished" old Philippine maps that I'm going to publish. I'm still finalizing the other maps. Thank You!
