Palmyra Island Map Error Sparks U S Designation
The Department of the Interior disclosed that many maps mislabel Palmyra Island as British rather than American. Located about 990 nautical miles west of Honolulu, the atoll features a central lagoon and a few coconut trees. Historical claims show it was discovered by the American vessel Palmyra in 1802, later taken by Hawai‘i, annexed by Britain in 1882, and then incorporated into the United States. Nearby Christmas, Jarvis, Howland, and Baker islands are also cited as undetermined by National Geographic Society.
