All areas of the map unless otherwise noted are open terrain.

American forces may deploy within their beachead area. The Germans within their bounderies on the map. The Canal is only crossable by bridge, but engineers constructing a bridge get +1 as the banks are solid, the canal narrow and materials are in easy reach.
