This page houses sketches of maps produced by the commanders of combat patrols, most dating from the period 1928-1930,  when the geographic knowledge of the Marines & Guardia was sparse and the Second Brigade's Mapping Section hungry for more detailed information about the spatial characteristics of the country the Marines had invaded & occupied.

     Generally these sketch maps also appear in PC-Docs, along with the patrol & combat reports with which they were submitted & archived.
