This graphic literary map was created by Kenneth Riley as part of Harris Intertype Corporation's “Map-of-A-Book” series, and was likely timed to coincide with a TV-series adaptation of Daniel Defoe's classic book, Robinson Crusoe, which was syndicated in 1964 in the United States. The map centers on the island on which Crusoe shipwrecked and shows the route that Crusoe sailed from his home in England to Africa, Brazil, and ending on the island off the coast of Venezuela. Vignettes of Crusoe's adventures fill the map, including being captured by pirates off the coast of Africa, his plantation in Brazil, building a boat with his companion Friday, and discovering cannibals.

Kenneth Riley was an American artist and illustrator who was elected to the Cowboy Artists of America for his Western American and American Indian art. Earlier in his career, he supported himself by illustrating for National Geographic, The Saturday Evening Post, and cover art for literature. Published by Harris-Intertype Corporation in Cleveland, Ohio.
