I found an old (rather comical if not racist) pictorial map of Fukuoka depicting “life” of the 24th Artillery Division stationed in Fukuoka during the American occupation of Fukuoka in 1947 from the David Rumsey Map Collection, an extension archive of maps (that unfortunately only has one for Fukuoka). Surrounding the map is an anecdotal “history” of Fukuoka. It is interesting to see that Uminonakamichi area was a popular beach spot and housed the military barracks, and I don’t know what is going on at Saitozaki. Can you spot your neighborhood from here?
