Herman* Research Unit, Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, PO Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA Abstract National parks form an archipelago of government-run, on-site "museums," geographic sites of territorial and rhetorical nation-building. The War in the Pacific National Historical Park, which occupies seven parcels of land on the small island of Guam, celebrates the "freedom" that the U.S. brought to the region in World War II. But in fact, this landscape sits at the nexus of several contested territories. Guam was seized in the 1898 Spanish—American War—the final wave of American territorial expansion—and experienced 50 years of dictatorship under the U.S. -

Apra Harbor, Guam
Apra Harbor User’s Guide Welcome to the Location File for Apra Harbor, Guam! Located in the western North Pacific Ocean about three-quarters of the way between Hawaii and the Philippines, Guam is the largest and southernmost island in the Mariana archipelago. The island is surrounded by fringing reefs. Philippine Sea Adelup Point Luminao Reef Apra Harbor Orote Peninsula Guam North Pacific Ocean N NOAA has created Location Files for different U.S. coastal regions to help you use the General NOAA Oil Modeling Environment, GNOME. In addition, on a case-by-case basis, NOAA develops international Location Files when working with specific partners. Each Location File contains information about local oceanographic conditions that GNOME uses to model oil spills in the area covered by that Location File. Each Location File also contains references (both print publications and Internet sites) to help you learn more about the location you are simulating. As you work with the Location File for Apra Harbor, GNOME will prompt you to: 1. Choose the model settings (start date and time, and run duration). 2. Input the wind conditions. GNOME will guide you through choosing the model settings and entering the wind conditions. Click the Help button anytime you need help setting up the model. Check the “Finding Wind Data” Help topic to see a list of web sites that publish wind data for this region. 1 Apra Harbor More information about GNOME and Location Files is available at http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/software/gnome/gnome.html .

Guam - Geography
Guam - geography. I INTRODUCTION Fertile Pacific Soil Although Guam has rich farmland such as these fields near Umatac Bay in the southwestern part of the island, large-scale agriculture is not possible because United States military bases monopolize much of the land. Subsistence farming, however, is practiced throughout much of Guam. Explorer Ferdinand Magellan is believed to have landed at Umatac Bay in 1521, where his and later expeditions found fresh water in nearby hillside springs. Peter French/Bruce Coleman, Inc. - geography. Guam, island in the western North Pacific Ocean, unincorporated territory of the United States, largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands. It is 48 km (30 mi) long and a maximum of about 13 km (about 8 mi) wide; the total area is 549 sq km (212 sq mi). The capital of Guam is Hagåtña. II LAND AND ECONOMY Umatac Bay, Guam Umatac Bay is situated on the southwestern coast of the island of Guam. The adjacent town of Umatac is the center of an important cattle-grazing area. Guam, an unincorporated U.S. territory in the North Pacific Ocean, is the site of a large military establishment for the U.S. army, navy, and air force. Jack Fields/Photo Researchers, Inc. The northern portion of the island is a plateau of coral formation; the southern portion is hilly and of volcanic origin. The only good anchorage is Apra Harbor, on the western coast. The climate is tropical, with an average annual temperature of 26.7° C (80° F). Guam is one of the principal U.S. defense fortifications in the western Pacific Ocean and is the site of extensive naval, army, and air force installations.
