This page houses the map described on the title & legend at right — the route of the quasi-legendary Río Coco patrol led by Capt. Merritt A. "Red Mike" Edson in 1928-29, as so ably examined by David C. Brooks in his 1989 JLAS article.  Traced from the 1924 Clifford Ham map, and measuring 35 inches high x 32 inches wide, the map is housed in RG127/196, and should be read in combination with the series of telegrams and reports on the Río Coco Patrol housed in the EAST COAST PAGES.  The map presented here is a panoramic stitch of scans of a photocopy.
