From the Meuse-Argonne, Verdun and St. Mihiel Sectors
Most Dated Early- to Mid-1918
Explore the A.E.F. Western Front of 1918 with this assortment of 32 French Artillery Objectives and Enemy Position maps. This collection covers much of the Meuse-Argonne, Verdun and St. Mihiel sectors and rear areas; focusing on the German front line trench systems and artillery targets behind the line. They do show some French trench systems, but the focus is clearly on the German side of the line. These maps do not show specific units in the line–only the outline of the trenches themselves and the location of suspected artillery targets such as railroad lines, encampments, observation posts, etc.
The dates on the maps range from Oct. 1917 to Sept. 1918; with most of them dated mid-1918–or just a few months before the arrival of the A.E.F. Thus, they should be fairly representative of the front line at the time the American Expeditionary Forces entered the line.
The scale is 1:20,000 or 1:10,000; which is ideal for battlefield exploring.
This collection includes two formats for each map: TIFF and JPEG. Most of the TIFF files have been scanned at 200dpi.
All but three of the maps come from the National Archives collection in College Park, MD. The remaining three maps are hard copies from Randal Gaulke’s collection.
