As is quite clear, Cemetery Hill stood behind one of the beaches taken by the Marines during the Incheon Landing in September, 1950. Here's what the area, just north of Incheon Station (which would be just south of the bottom left of the map), looks like today:

The Harold Cook article I posted the other day said that "[e]xcept for a small mound of earth, the Mansok-tong hill no longer exists, having been carted away as fill for part of the waterfront area." This isn't surprising, considering the fact that much of the west coast of Korea near Incheon has been filled in, sometimes kilometers out into the sea. Seeing as there is a rail yard there now, it's clear that 'Cemetery Hill' has been flattened.
