I thought with the discussions going on a few may be interested in this link; Asia Maps - Perry-Castañeda Map Collection - UT Library Online

An Example

 

This is an awesome 'click on' map for incredible detail.

Great idea for a thread, Biak. I had to throw you a "Like" cuz, apparently, I've been a bit too generous with them lately.

 

Railways of China : 1941

 

For checking the locations of US divisions on the Philippine island of Luzon, I found the maps in the official history difficult to use for quick reference and the USMA maps incomplete.

I had read the official history Triumph in the Philippines, several years back and found I had not retained this information to the same extent that I had for the US war in Europe.

To help me re-learn and for future reference I made a map which shows the movements of the divisions. I rushed its completion so there are probably a number of errors but essentially complete. I used a key of small division patches because they help me remember.

The compression routine for file uploads on this site will degrade the quality but hopefully it will be usable.

Edit: Updated map with corrections, additions and dates. Also found this book at CMH with a report from MacArthur's Headquarters. Maps found here provide a better overview of the battle.
Chapter 9: The Mindoro and Luzon Operations
