EVS-Islands: Little Makin Island KR

The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

Little Makin Island KR

Visit Jane Resture's website that contains extensive discussions of Makin Island to include it's history during WWII. Another site that contains WWII information about the battle of Makin Island is the American Forces in Actions, the Battle for Makin Island. If this island is of interest you will find the data informative.

This is the result of about 12-hours of digitizing, along with 2-NFL football games and numerous other interruptions. It was probably a 4-hour project without the distractions, but frankly that is life. We indulge our passions while encountering life's many demands. Was the 12-hours worth it? Sure! The map is well done and I am finished with this project.

Enjoy!
