Vietnam War — Phước Tuy Province Wall Map (1961)

Low, forested hills, sand flats, and the long curve of the coast—this Vietnam War–era map gathers Phước Tuy Province into a single, operational portrait. Centred on the area around Núi Đất (later base of the 1st Australian Task Force), the sheet overlays a clean topographic base with the geometry of war: TAOR limits, Areas of Operations, fire support bases, clearance zones, artillery control boundaries, and civilian/coastal restrictions. Part field document, part historical record, it brings the province’s contested ground into crisp, legible focus.

Why it captivates

Operational clarity — boundaries, bases and restricted zones overprinted for fast situational reading.
Authoritative base — derived from Special Use S.E. Asia 1:100,000, Series L607 (Sheet 6430) for terrain accuracy.
Time-capsule detail (1961) — nomenclature and control measures captured early in the conflict period.
Scholarly & display-ready — clean symbology and disciplined lettering read clearly from across a room.

What you’ll see

TAOR boundary, base patrol AO and sector AO boundaries distinguished by overprint styles.
Fire Support Bases (FSBs), artillery warning/control centre limits, and land-cleared areas.
Civilian access zones and coastal restriction areas marked for deconfliction.
Amended place names on a 1:100,000 topographic base (Series L607, sheet 6430), showing relief, rivers and roads.

A richer historical frame

Phước Tuy became a focal province for Australian operations, with terrain that forced every decision to account for relief, lines of sight, watercourses and access. This 1961 printing sits at the intersection of cartography and command: a sheet meant to be briefed over, annotated, folded, and carried—now a powerful wall piece that preserves how the ground was understood.
