H. Satellite Images of Amerigui Plantation

This section contains some satellite images of Amerigui Plantation and its environs obtained from the Google Earth service.
This image is of Amerigui Plantation's farm property taken from an altitude of about 50,000 feet. The overall layout of the farm is easily visible, as is most of the canal system. The darker field areas are irrigated fields being managed by local inhabitants and the small military contingent currently assigned to Monchon.

This image shows the headquarters site. On the opposite side of the road the warehouse, workshop, and water tower can be seen. On the lower side of the image, the larger building is the rice mill, with the adjacent open machine shed, housing units, and cafeteria.

Amerigui Plantation can be seen in this photo as a reference. The developed site to the left is the Port of Kamsar with its bauxite jetty. Bel-Air, a hotel and beach resort, is located just a few miles away on the peninsula to the right side of the image.
