Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos & Eastern Thailand — National Geographic Wall Map (1965)
Indochina at a pivotal moment—rendered with calm, authoritative clarity. Published in January 1965, as U.S. involvement in Vietnam escalated, this classic National Geographic sheet brings Viet Nam and its western neighbours into sharp focus. Issued with a separately published index tied to “American Special Forces in Action in Viet Nam,” it also pairs beautifully with the 1967 map of the same region.
More Than a Map – A Testament to History
This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding mid-1960s Southeast Asia. Clean cartography lays out political boundaries, cities and towns, major routes, and coastlines and rivers with legible, era-true design. Ideal for educators, historians, researchers, designers, travelers, and collectors, it invites close study while presenting elegantly across a room.
Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
