Own a piece of 20th century history with this vintage map!
This map of Vietnam and its western neighbors is presented in classic National Geographic style. Published in January 1965, marking the beginning of heavy US troop deployment in the middle of the Vietnam War, it accompanied the article "American Special Forces in Action in Viet Nam," and a map index listing the place names that appear on the map.
Depicting a region in the middle of a ten-year war, this map includes essential features such as road and railways, airfields, and more. International boundaries are clearly laid out in iconic National Geographic form, with bold and colorful borders. Geographic equivalents showing the translations between local languages and English complete this snapshot in time.
An inset of the Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand region within the context of larger southeast Asia add detail to this timely map. Drawn in the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, which seats a cone over the sphere of the Earth and projects the surface conformally onto the cone.
This vintage map is truly a unique conversation piece. The mid-century coloring and style makes it a must have for any decor. Historians of the Vietnam War will love this beautiful production.
