A marine chart of Saint Pierre et Miquelon and Canada was used as a base for the design of the block.  The quality of the image that I found only allow me to show 2 of the many lighthouses whose location are described in that chart.  

Point Plate in Langlade (H-0330) and Cap Blanc in Miquelon (H-0328). The red light zone of both lighthouses are depicted too. They converge over the Veaux Marins rocks.

With a close and personal look of the block, many more lighthouse locations will appear.

Thank you very much Eckhard for the alert

Once you folds the block and put the parts toghether,  it will look like this...

The details of the background depicts in a stylized form, the entry to the Getxo Harbour.

This is the Harbour Administration building. Next to it, there is a lighthouse (Santurtzi D-1527) but it was not depicted here.  This is the west side of the entrance to the harbour.  The interesting to us is the east side...

This is the east breakwater (Contradique de Algorta). At the end of the breakwater, that white building is the lighthouse...

Lighthouse: Getxo Contradique de Algorta
