Straits of the Dardanelles, measuring
approximately 30km north to south and 25km west
to east – from Suvla Bay in the north to Cape Helles
in the south, and Çanakkale on the Asian shore of
the Dardanelles in the east. The Narrows are
marked, between the towns of Eceabat and
Çanakkale.The three landings from the Aegean Sea
on the western shores of the Gallipoli Peninsula are
shown and the ground they held. The ground held
from April to December 1915 that was captured at
the 25 April 1915 Anzac landings at Anzac Cove and
North Beach, labelled Old Anzac, is marked in
orange, surrounded by a larger area marked in

August to December 1915. Also on 25 April, the
British forces landed at Helles at the tip of the
Gallipoli Peninsula in the south of the map. The
ground held is marked in red. Cape Helles in the
south, Krithia in the centre of the peninsula and
the hill Achi Baba above it are marked.On 6 August
1915, the British landed at Suvla Bay immediately
above the Anzac-held area. The ground held by the
British there from August to December 1915 is
marked in green, with the Salt Lake in the centre.
Hill 60 is shown between them, with the Sari Bair
range marked in a large semi-circle from northern
Suvla Bay down to Kabatepe in the south, below
the Anzac-held territory. Along that semi-circle are
marked the summits of Hill 971, Chunuk Bair and
Mal Tepe. Küçükanafarta and Büyükanafarta
