ABOUT THIS MAP
Colour
Coded Indexes
What
you see here is a section.that
measures only some 2” by 2” (5cm by 5cm) of a map that
is double sided and measures 19.5” by 28” (49cm by 71cm).
It is of the American Landing
Beach UTAH. There are no other maps that give
such clear detail and accurately position the memorials,
museums, bunkers and cemeteries along the whole length
of the landing beaches. What is more the indexes enable
the reader/traveller to find particular memorials etc
with ease and the colour coding makes it clear immediately
what each lollipop represents.
The
Small Section Above
Thus
on the small section above all the yellow dots are memorials,
the blue one is a museum, the red/pink are bunkers and
the green a Comite du Debarquement marker. The numbers
allow the indexes to be used to identify the exact nature
of the points marked and there
are over 300 of them.
Battle
Lines and Modern Roads
Overlaid
onto the map, which shows the modern roads, are the
essential battle lines of actions of June 6 1944 and
the small red columns mark
the route of Liberation Highway.
The
Guide Book
The
map references are used throughout the guide
book to guide the reader around the intineraries.
