US Army Map Service Topographic Maps v 7

The exceptional online resources of the Perry-Castañeda Library of the University of Texas at Austin provide a series of topographic maps created by the US Army Map Service. They date primarily from the 1940s and 1950s, so they are more detailed in areas of military concern during and after World War II. You can see the fullTABLE OF CONTENTS.

While the maps are somewhat outdated, they are excellent for locating tiny villages, finding islands which are not visible or named, and obtaining topography details.

When using them in conjunction with Google Earth, it is often rather difficult to quickly find the specific map which covers an area of interest. This posting is designed to provide both the global area quadrangles (most of which are at a scale of 1:250,000) and the city maps which show far greater details.

Version 7 provides 1,340 clickable rectangles covering Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, eastern China, France, India, Japan, southern Kazakhstan, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, eastern Pakistan, the Philippines, southern Russia, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.



All of the 435 city maps have been provided globally. The east Asian region is illustrated here:



Edited by PriceCollins (10/19/07 02:02 PM)I have a bunch of UTM grid coordinates which read like this:

106203N 1063538E (XT418657)

Taken from DIA Intelligence Reports.

How do I find a location such as this:

106203N 1063538E (XT418657)

Using GE?

TIA
