Lunga Point area chart prepared for landing on Guadalcanal 1942

Annotated chart prepared for planning purposes shortly before the Lunga Point area, Guadalcanal Island, Solomon Islands, was captured by U.S. Marines on 7-8 August 1942. It is based on aerial photographs taken on 31 July 1942. The airfield then being constructed by the Japanese, which after changing hands became Henderson Field, is in the right center.
