Map Contribution

  
Acknowlegdements:
If it had not been for the help and support of the following individuals
this project never would have become a reality.
Les Hines, Dan Gillotti, Buddy Sadler, Bruce Flaherty, Mike Bookser,Bruce Moore,
Bill Schneider, Keith Short, Peter Cole, Glenn Sheathelm, Dave Bowman,
Larry McDougal, Mike Kelley, David Powell, Ron Leonard, Al Simms,
Victor Vilonis, George Heidt, Drew Mendelson, and Charles Seketa.

A lot of people have told me I should put out a map book. When I got
in contact with the above individual, I told them this was a "Non- Profit"
project and SGT Snuffy sticks to his word.  (reconkt2@myfairpoint.net)
Any add on grids or corrections, please send to me.

  A very special thanks to my wife Pam for the
endless nights of going to bed and waking up without me, because I was 24/7 on this project.
I would like to thank my nieces Kimberly, Kelsey, Jennifer and her boyfriend
Alberto for there many hours of putting the grid coordinates to the appropriate maps.


A very special thanks to our new friends David and Kathy Marino, for if they
had not started the Americal4ofthe3 website, the maps would more than
likely still be in their folders and not on the website. Also many thanks to Pete Dempsey for his artwork, graphics  and map Power Points that show cased the 1/50 maps.
Texas Tech University, I have spent months of researhing their massive
collection of information.

Enjoy the maps

Map Reading Made Easy

By Don Smith

  

Map Used : Son Ha

Map # L7014-6739-III

Scale: 1:50,000

  

Girds Use:

LZ Buff (Later renamed LZ Stinson) BS539824

Note: This is where I operated off in 1970-71

 

1. Grid Designator:

This is located at the bottom center of map sheet

Example: Son Ha map, grid designator is BS

See picture Grid Designator – 100,000 M. Square Identification - BS
 

2. Finding your location:

a. Locate your East to West grid line, in this case it’s 53.

b. Locate your South to North grid line, in this case it’s 82.

c. After you have them intersected, go over 9 numbers
(900 meters)& up 4 numbers (400 meters) and where they
 intersect is your location.

See picture Map & Protractor
 3. Practical Exercises:
 

1. Find BS516778, what is it?

2. Find BS454804, what is it?

3. Find BS473863, what is it?

See answers at bottom of page
