Map of Guadalcanal with Army Confiscation Papers
Scope and Contents
Hand-drawn map of Guadalcanal artillery firing lanes (possibly of Japanese origin) that was confiscated from Walter Ensminger, veteran of the 164th. According to the confiscation receipt, the map was "A Jap Cart" (cartography). An envelope accompanying the materials notes, "I was investigated by Army Intelligence because I was bringing out a meaningless piece of cartography concerning local artillery firing lanes." The map is quite fragile and in several pieces.
