Neat. Any idea who created the map?

The Japanese in 1939, is all I know. From autumn 1937, large parts of Shanghai were under their military control, which invited a lot of Japanese business and tourism into the city: https://avezink.livejournal.com/146262.html

Lol. I almost guess Japanese, but I didn't want to assume. 😁 Thanks for sharing.
