Company, 4103.S32 i5.1-29 | 8-18-1950The only date on the source map is the date the tracing was made. No extensions were dated. However, this map has precisely the same extensions as the microfilm map, document number 352825 (reel 03140, frames 389 & 390), which is dated 2-14-1942 and is probably a final map (or very nearly so). | 1:2400 | 1:2400 | Final |
