I have been asked how do I obtain maps like this now? These maps are currently available for sale through the US Geological Survey. The problem with ordering maps is the identity of the particular map you need. There are over 500 maps in the Vietnam Map Series L7014. At the present time there is not a comprehensive index of places names and their corresponding map ID.
