Stamps: 1892-1912 French Colonies Map

As I build my collection of "Navigation and Commerce" stamps from French Colonies (1892-1912) I thought it would be helpful to map out their geographic locations for reference.

As you can see, France (circled) had great influence in Africa & Madagascar, and was also well established in the Caribbean, India, the South and Western Pacific and South East Asia (Indo-China).

I currently have navigation and commerce stamps from each of these colonies, except Guinea, Mayotte, and St. Marie (Madagascar). I even have a few of them "on cover" including the following:

Senegal to Switzerland, 1898

Martinique to France, 1898

New Caledonia (local) 1914


I'm hoping the reference map will be useful in my April 18th presentation at the CF stamp club.
