The dates used in this article are wrong.

The Panama Canal Zone was abolished in 1979 (two years after the signing of the 1977 Panama Canal Treaties).

For the next 20 years (1979-1999), the territories of the former Canal Zone became officialy known as "Reverted Areas of the Panama Canal".

So, the official dates of the Panama Canal Zone would be 1903-1979.

---

The changeover was gradual, however, and while the Panama Canal Zone proper shrank in size - geographically and in terms of resources - every year, the Zone itself continued to exist as a legal entity until the time of the final handover ceremony in 1999.

I have reverted the section.
