All occupied features are placed with flags, including those which are not labeled in the map. Here are all unlabeled features: Ban Than Reef (T) The flag below the flag for Itu Aba Island (T). Higgens Reef (V) The flag sandwiched between the flags for Sin Cowe Island (V) and Landsowne Reef (V). Whitson Reef (C) The flag nearest Chigua Reef label.
