Iwo Jima Map
This map, detailing Japanese defenses across Iwo Jima, was used to coordinate naval and air bombardments and other fire support across the island. At the bottom it is marked SECRET, but this classification was changed to RESTRICTED once being used to coordinate actual combat operations. It provides a good idea of what Julian and his unit, landing on Red Beach I, would have been fighting against as they pushed further into Iwo Jima.
