Vietnam Archive Map Collection

The Map Collection contains over 1500 maps on Vietnam, Indochina, Southeast Asia.  A majority of the maps in this collection come from the Army Map Service with the remainder from such public sources as National Geographic.  All of these maps are oversized, that is, the dimensions are larger than 14" x 8.5".  When requesting a map, please ask for the entire folder.

The primary method for finding and accessing maps in the Vietnam Archive Map Collection is through the Maps Database Search Page. Users can search by map title, subject, scale, or find a location using latitude and longitude (use the gazetteers listed below or on the maps search page to find latitude and longitude for locations in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and North and South Vietnam). Non-copyrighted maps can also be downloaded in a variety of sizes and formats. Maps are also available for searching through the Virtual Vietnam Archive.
