MAPS

 

This is a color map of the northern Arizona and the eastern end of the Thuong Duc Corridor.  The map was scanned for me by a friend of Terry Dixon's, India 3/7.   I've added captions for Hills 52, 25, 65, 37, the Arizona and Charlie Ridge.   It's about 230k and may take a while to load after you click on it.

1. The area of Go Noi Island where Operation Pipestone Canyon Occurred. Events marked by orange circles (left to right). I believe John Kirschner was KIA on May 27, 1969 near Phu Dong (2)

Furthest orange mark to the right was my fighting hole on the berm near the blown bridge. Had 2 confirmed kills there on June 6, 1969. Above Phu Dong (2) is where I believe Doc Pyle was KIA

2. An Hoa and Alligator Lake... and forward CP

3. Took pictures of a map a vet gave me years ago of the An Hoa basin. A few years ago I marked spots where I remember significant events occured such as ambushes, John Kirschner KIA, Cooper MIA and later found, Doc Pyle KIA, the base camp where Terry Householter and others died in and around and other events. Not sure how they look on other computers but not too bad on mine.
