Produced in November 1924 for post-war tourists to Verdun, this plan shows clearly barracks and cemeteries, the old Vauban fortifications, and also the important standard and metre gauge (Meusien) railway installations. Scale of original: 1:7,000.

The French defences of the Fortified Region of Verdun, as they stood on 21 February 1916 at the start of the battle. Many of the trench systems shown were poorly constructed and discontinuous, relying on the barbed wire in front, the 75-mm field guns behind, and the (disarmed) forts in rear. German maps dated January 1916 show all these defences in detail.
