My advice with maps is first coordinates / LatLong given are not always correct - indeed features may not even be correct or are even wrongly identified. Also, if you can't find the map you are really after look at sheets from the same series so you can see any information on the Grid & Projection used. It is also worth looking at later maps as quite often they are the same but with just a few additions. Another useful source are specialist maps, especially from mineral studies and topographic maps accompanying geological reports - I have not seen this Map but gives you an idea of how they might be useful: catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/1928308?lookfor=title:Bataan%20%23[format:Map]&offset=2&max=3I forgot to reply to this before, PNG is Papua New Guinea and at the moment I'm in the capital, Port Moresby, sitting in my budget hotel room (a mere $300 per night) - well actually the balcony of my room - and looking across the bay towards the outer reef and as I look from left to right I can identify within a 10 minute boat trip the site of three shallow water ww2 aircraft wrecks and one land wreckage. I also have internet that kinda works hence the bevy of postings !

Ah, Papua New Guinea, OK. I thought you might have been referring to someplace in the Philippines.
Sad to hear of the tribal dispute interfering with the exploration. That is not a place where I would want to immerse myself in a tribal dispute, but it is a place that I would love to explore some time. Are you very familiar with it? Do you get there often?
