When did white spots disappear from maps? Going by my parents' off-hand comments, maps showing Africa and South America still had big white blobs in the 1960s.

When did white spots disappear from maps? Going by my parents' off-hand comments, maps showing Africa and South America still had big white blobs in the 1960s. Eventually they were filled in with satellite maps, but when was that? 1970s? 80s?
- stefansa 11y agoThe only one I have with a white spot is from the mid 1930s (one of the few Globes in which all of Africa, sans Liberia, is a colony). There's a white spot on the southern bit of the Arabian peninsula, just north of Yemen / N Yemen / Oman.
