Overall Post Map

This interactive map of Fort Miles allows you to see what the US Army originally built and is color coded to reveal what is left of it.? The floor plans of most gun batteries can be seen by zooming in on them.? Fort Miles was divided by military planners into 7 zones.? Each building was given an alpha numeric designation for identification.? This system allowed for an efficient infrastructure for a fortification that was literally a small city.


Interactive Fire Control Network Map
?

This interactive map shows fire control elements, batteries, and towers with a modern map overlay.? Thanks to FMHA member Dan Brown for putting the time and effort into creating this map application.
