World War II Pacific Maps

These maps show the Pacific during the period that is discussed in these web pages. They are more appropriate than a general atlas because they show the particular sites of battles and bases during the Pacific War, the early years.

The USMA website reorganizes each semester, so be prepared to hunt for these pages starting at the USMA website ; then Dept. of History Maps ; Our Atlases ; and then "World War Two - Asian / Pacific Theater". The most important maps from our perspective of the Pacific War, the early years, are:
