The initials JDN indicated as the cartographer match
James D. Norwood, San Angelo, TX, 93rd NCB
The map set in Bob Conner's collection of memorabilia
includes 5 pages, several with details penciled in. The map includes
both 6th and 11th Special Battalions which do not otherwise appear to have
overlapped during the 93rd's sojourn. Since the 11th arrived in early 1944,
the map presumably dates from that time.
