Outline of the Post-War New World Map

Outline of the Post-War New World Map. Published 1942, Philadelphia, PA

The map was self-published by Gomberg and offered for sale for $1 in magazines such as American Teacher in 1942 and Survey Graphic in 1944 (seen here).

The Outline of the Post-War New World Map was a map completed before the attack on Pearl Harbor and self-published on February 25, 1942 by Maurice Gomberg of Philadelphia. It shows a proposed political division of the world after World War II in the event of an Allied victory in which the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union would rule. The map includes a manifesto describing a "New World Moral Order", along with quotes from Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech.

Gomberg created the map as a personal project, and little else is known of him. The map has been highlighted by New World Order conspiracy theorists who believe it represents some broader view of the US government, and has also been widely circulated online.

The date stamp imprinted on the map reads, "Division of Maps, March 31, 1942, Library of Congress", implying that this map is in fact an officially approved map, giving credence to the "conspiracy theory", and therefore making it less of a "theory", and more "conspiracy". This map is in fact listed on the US Library of Congress website.
