Posterior calf --> popliteal or deep inguinal lymph nodes?
For some unknown reason, I have it annotated next to popliteal.
Then, from another resource, I have annotated: "superficial inguinal drain almost all cutaneous areas from umbilicus --> feet, excepting the posterior calf, which is deep inguinal, and dorsolateral foot (popliteal)."

Edit: perhaps the approximate sural nerve distribution is popliteal (posterolateral calf), but the posteromedial aspect (approximate saphenous nerve distribution) is superficial --> deep inguinal. Just a guess.
