This interesting map provides a view of the operations leading up to the capture of Churubusco (a short distance from Mexico City). Several battles were fought and won against an enemy force of 32,000, devastating Santa Anna and leaving the way open to the assault on Mexico City in mid-September. This plan shows the positions of American and Mexican troops outside Mexico City on the outskirts of Pedregal, a huge lava field.
