I Am Looking For Maps!
(From my old stomping ground)

Some visitors have been kind enough to provide maps of the area that I am looking for - I thank them from the bottom of my heart!  THANKS GUYS!
One of the maps is;
DMA STOCK NO. L853X31214NW
SHEET 3121 IV NW
SERIES L853
EDITION 6-DMA
I am looking for surrounding maps with the designations of:
3121 IV NE, 3121 III SE and 3122 III SE
I would prefer maps from the late 50's, early 60's if anyone has some they would like to get rid of or make copies of? I have enough maps from the early 50's and late 60's on. The only maps I am looking for now are ones that show the area as it was in 1959 - 1960.  Hard to find, I know!

The map on the far right is from the one mentioned above. That is the detail (1:25,000) that I am looking for.  I need the map 15 miles N.E. of this one (circa 1960).

If you have any of them, I will pay any & all costs to get a copy!!!!
The center and the left maps are NOT the mentioned maps!
The one on the far right is a SMALL portion of 3121 IV NW.

Note: Our positions ("A" Troop) were on the DMZ, North of the Imjin River, North East of Munsan (Pronounced "Moon-Sahn").  It is easy to spot on the map, it is NNW of Seoul.  Follow the right leg of the "M" in Munsan North to the DMZ and that is where the "A" Troop Compound and patrol area and battle positions were, right next to the Imjin River & up to the DMZ. [North of Libby Bridge]

Here is a portion of one of the maps that I am looking for.
Click on the thumbnail to view it.

I was able to identify what used to be (in LATE 1959), the "A" Troop compound, later called Camp Wally, Suicide Grade and Libby Bridge.  The maps North and North East of this would show the rest of our patrol areas both South of the DMZ and inside it.  I doubt that I would be able to spot where our OP's were.  My battle position was about a mile (I think) NNE of the upper right corner of this map, right at the South Boundary of the DMZ.  The R.O.K. military now takes care of this whole area.

AMS Series L851
Map Index

Here is the index from a 1953 series of maps, ,  that I am looking for.  The 3 blocks that are lighter than the others are maps that I have been fortunate to acquire, I am looking for the remaining maps (darker areas),  and also the adjoining maps to the North (Top), and to the West (Left), of what is shown here.  Any and all help is appreciated!!

Many thanks to those of you that have supplied me with maps. I really want the missing maps from the series noted above. The later (1960 on) maps show things that were not there when I was. There is a 1957 Series of maps that would be ideal, even better than the 1953 series - if I find the series number, I will post it.

I am also trying to find someone that can pinpoint the location of the "A" Troop compound as it was in 1958/early 1959 before the troop was moved North of Libby Bridge to the old village of Morye-dong.

It has been reported that the DMZ Police Company compound was located in the area of Changdan (shown on this map).  I believe the location of the "A" Troop compound in early 1959 was also in the area covered by this map. I believe the compound was east of "B" and "C" Troops on the south side of the MDL, but I do not know where.

Thanks!

"B" Troop Sector (1963 - 64)

Recent Satellite Maps!

Here are some satellite maps of the area of the Imjin River, mainly of the area north of the river where the 1st Recon. Squadron was located during my tour (1959-1960). I have identified a few things on one of the maps and as time goes on I MAY do some more.

The maps were done with "Google Earth" 3.0.0616 (beta).
You may check here http://earth.google.com to see if your hardware will install and run the free software. Hint: You need a broadband connection (a T1 or better).

Clicking on the thumbnails will get you a 1024x768 rendering.

Note: At this time Google Earth does not mark
the DMZ MDL or the North Limit. 
The South boundary of the DMZ is marked with a single yellow line but I question its accuracy.
