![Hydrographic/topographic map entitled "Saipan and Tinian" (more completely: "North Pacific Ocean [/] Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands [/] Mariana Islands [/] Saipan and Tinian [/] From a survey by the USS Bowditch in 1944 [/] with additions from Japanese surveys in 1934 [/] Shoreline and topography from other sources"). It was published by the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Center of Washington, D.C. This is the map's 4th edition, dated September 1, 1984, and numbered 81067. In addition to water depth, which is indicated numerically, the map shows the Pacific islands of Saipan, Tinian, and Aguijan. One part of the ocean near Saipan is tinted green; a printed note near this location explains that it "was wire dragged (1916-1944) to various depths indicated in feet [�]" Two rectangular spaces-one along the top edge of the map and one along the right edge-are labeled "Explosives Dumping Area." There is also a Conversion Table near the top left corner and a Compilation Diagram along the right edge. Saipan and Tinian were places of battle during World War II between Japanese and Allied forces.](https://luna.tampabayhistorycenter.org/MediaManager/srvr?mediafile=/Size3/TBHC~3~3/115/2017.009.006.jpg "Hydrographic/topographic map entitled \"Saipan and Tinian\" (more completely: \"North Pacific Ocean [/] Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands [/] Mariana Islands [/] Saipan and Tinian [/] From a survey by the USS Bowditch in 1944 [/] with additions from Japanese surveys in 1934 [/] Shoreline and topography from other sources\").
