A local map of Majuro. The dark ink area is the “out of water” portion of the atols. Depending on the distance at low tide it is possible to walk between from one atol to the other. Most cannot be reached, too deep. They are all named on the map. Some are occupied most are not. The population is essentially all on the long portion from Laura to Rita (named after Lauren Becall,sp and Rita Hayworth). The mileage scale should be in km the distance from Laura (location of one KH) to Rita at the other end ( location of the larger KH) is about 32 miles. The ink outline just outside the darkened area is the coral reef under water but only knee to chest deep depending on the tides. We are living in Ageltalke if legible, it is the word above and to the right of the mileage scale.
