Banika Maps: List of Facilities and Landmarks by Section
 

 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.
