Map 1945 era

Iron Ridge - Hill 432 - Hill 433 on the 1991 map is a slightly different shape compared to the 1991 map because of the redrawn contour lines.

Road 117A goes along the line of Song-Dong past the "34" on the map toward Samgo-ri then goes due north.

Route 5 on the 1991 map and Route 6 in 1953 runs along the bottom of this map section.

Please note the railroad line that runs south to north with the road in 1953 designated 117. On the 1991 Map this railroad is dismanteled and the road torn up.
