Topographical sketch of the valley of the Marne, showing the area fought over by the 38th Regiment, 3rd Division. The sketch, made by an official American military artist, captures a view of the Paris-Metz road between Varennes and Moulins, looking northeast and downstream. A railroad track, serving as a crucial line of defense, can be seen in the foreground, with Company E stationed on the river bank and Company H occupying rifle pits near the Surmelin River. The image depicts the failed German offensive between Charteves and Mezy.
