After the Taliban captured Bowe Bergdahl, they took him across the border into Waziristan, where they handed him over to the Haqqanis.
These maps give some geographic context to the central locations in the story: Afghanistan, RC East, Paktika province, OP Mest, and Waziristan.
Sami Yousafzai interviewed members of the Taliban who were involved in Bergdahl's capture. This map shows the general route they said they took to evade the U.S. Army.
