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.
The first image

NW, SE, and SW quadrants in JPEG
files of around 5 MB each.
The next image highlights the route of march in
