Hill 770 is immediately below the label "Kyoam-san"
in lower right.
The pencil markings near the middle right are points Don had
zeroed-in during Nov. and Dec. 1951. He is unsure about the E1
through E5 markings but we think that they may have identified where
E Company was during Operation Nomad.
This digital map is especially useful for studying the Kumsong area.
