Wrappers were probably generic and attached to the map that was needed which is why the used a paper label for title. Wrapper has some wear at extremities especially the spine area but still in tact;  map is bright and clean and in very good plus condition.  The date of 1923 is on the paper wrapper but it is unclear if that's when this map was published still it’s likely from the 1920s.
