(4) The ST. SUW UVUR L7 VICOifTE-STE. 1,i-T :LISE road. (.,ast-':est).
(5) The ChR6'TTh§i-L, hnAiY DU PUITS road. (East-;'est).
The first twio are mil.itary roads and are in good repair. Thelatter are all weatner ro. ds, 16' - !$' ':_ie, but )robably have not been main-tainmd since 1540. There is an ardeuate n.et-ork of mi:lor roads throughoutthe area. The width of roads and the dithes auld hedges along the roads areindicated on the map. Thare is a doubie-' rack railroad from CR'JTATT toTiLOGi-TS in the area and a single-track railroad from CARL Ti..,: to LA H.'flDU PUITS.
d. General Nature of the Terrain:
The area north of CAR'ITA'i and east of the DOXiUV as far north asVAPLOGNT-S is a low ,arthy coastal liain. The ground is flat to gEntly rolling.The strcai.;s are sluggish and meandering, flowing tirough broad valleys. Landthat is not under water or marshy is in pastures, cultivated fields, and orchards.Hedges and lines of trees are co;.non between fields and there are many drainageditches, particularly n,.ar the ihundatd areas and alongside of-roads.
South of the DCUIT, the PIitI-I£S B7,CAG.EJS5S and the P:t'. II S;AiEI.C:AIUS']S iiSE GO¥i-1S are of a riarshy nature drying to some e;xtent in thesummer. Th- PWI~l .. IALC~GLUSS DE G-O.FGES is very near the source of theiRiver AY north' ;c: :- P-31ISRS and thus is formed an almost continuous linkof low g.rowund ac.s; the nec t he the CO;3i'T T-I 'Peninsula. Between P7RI7ESand the DOUVE the inigh ground is in ,woods and pastures.
3. iIIT.LRY J'cT OF TriE T IlaIiT:
a. aV;U;LS OF PPRO-.CI hMD L1[f.S OF COii'UifIC.-LTIOKS:
There are only 5 roa.s and one railway from the South. Theroads cross the DOTZE Divor at LB OULII?. S2ALITN, Rub%.VILL~ LA B,.STl LE,POUT L'.n33iL (iETiLi'VILL), end ST. S.ThJ'I.1t LE VICO.-. The first, secondand last are on military roaas, class 50 or better. The railroad crosses on3 successive bridges north,,est of CJv2'.'T. Approaches from the 'Test includethe 5 crossings of the DOJ;rE at ST. S-.0VhJi . LE VICOHiTI, SqT. CCL& _3E, RU] DUPART, L'T ,-.7S BL3Tm_. 3D, and hi±'GVILL£. There is the approach through Li.
i:->,Y DJ ?PUITS which oas not cross the DOUVE until well within the area underconsideration. There are also numerous avenues of apDroach from the North,the primary ones being the CHE;E3CURG-CliR .TUt HigihTay, the ST. PIE1RRE 'TLISE-Vi.LOGI'.S road, and the UYTTTiHO-I-VuiOGS road, all rumning south throughVAL.OG',S5. There is an extensive network of minor roads throughout the areaand comtunicatlonls are good in any direction except across the inundated areaback of the beach $Instruction and/or maintenance of camufunications here isa major enr-inecr d . iroic9t. Everyr effort should be maae to seize crossingsover this inmnuation prior to their destruction by the enemy.
Crossing of the CAiT2!iThi estuary from I B,.I-U'7JTT3 to the sea isdifficult due to the treacherous soil conditions. Vehlicles cannot cross theestuary ecept by bridges and ferry at LE lfOUTIIN. Other suitable crossingsmay exist for infantry, but these would be hazardous until reconnoitered andmarked.

The chief obstacles in the area arc the irunuated areas. Iftiese ar_ to be naLintainea, DL. 3I TTTE lockPs must be caEtured intat ,. Thesoil under iniludation is es;ierally clay and gives very pcor .oaring 'i n wet.These ar-es ars effetlive obstacles against wheeled and tracked vehicles.Road blocks ad =-inss are knowrnr to .ist in the ar:as adjoinil- the beache:s,The aitc:..s and el.bonk.e.ts along the roads defile the., prevonting vehiclesfro;: derloaying across cov.tr., in r-any placs.

5. TACTICJL ~rFECT OF TIE TERRAIN:
a. The inundated areas offer excellaerotection frm the South andthe 'Iest once the crossings have been seized oldestroyed. 'Destruction of thecrossings from the South will augment the defense characteristics.offpredby the inundated areas.
b. Thle most favorable liaes of defense across tne base of the COTZNTINPeninsula would be:
(1) Valley of the DOWUV River, I.RIJI 3 .%RZC£rrGUSES, to nearestwest coast or via Valley of River OLLK:IDE.
(2) Valley of the DOLVJ.: River, PT.IiI .iJCr_LMGCTjUSES DE '-O4.q3S,to nearest west coast -via t he va ;le of the River J;Y.
c. In gensral the road net is adequat. but will require some recon-struction and nrcintlnanco.
d, Tie s izurc of the axits fror, the beaches and hih gro md backof them is _:,Ac~?hAor; for the succassful and carly depo,¥ynent of beach landingtroods.
e. The seizure of the crossings of the River DObfiE is i.LnRdatory,to prevw3nt the enieray ifro. crossir.. the inl undated aria fr¢o. theo South.
