Two of the maps and one of the charts in this page show
the location where the B-29 crashed at Nakasu.

The first navigation chart shows the track the
B-29s of the 73rd Bomb Wing were to follow to
the Tokyo Arsenal 13-14 April 1945.

The time on the top is when the first B-29 reached this point and
the bottom is when the last B-29 departed the point.

Beneath this chart is a Google map providing an overall view from
Tokyo at the bottom left to Chosi Point at the far right.
Kasumiga Ura is the lake close to where the B-29 crashed.

The last map at the bottom is part of a larger
US Army map from the University of Texas Library.

The crash took place in the area of the white oval, coordinates 1447 - 756.
