Location
Area southwest of Bloody Ridge. The Henderson's Field Crash Strip (emergency strip) was located nearby. Puller's line for the October 1942 battle.

Nicknamed by a US Marine after the battle, because of all the dead Japanese bodies stacked in the 'corner' of the American defensive line of 37mm guns.

Stan Gajda visited the battlefield:
"The jungle line is still the same. The grassy field between the jungle and the river is now planted with coconuts. It is a very large grove."
