INTRODUCTION
The maps described in this report have been selected as the best and most recent maps of
Indochinese transport facilities that are available in Washington, D.C.. The maps provide de-
tailed coverage of all phases of transportation in Indochina, but are deficient in one respect.
They reflect little of the great amount of deterioration incurred by all types of transport
since the beginning of warfare between the French and Vietnamese.
Section I, whichdeals with the transportation network in general, describes and evaluates
maps showing more than one type of transportation. In Sections II to V, transportation is
broken down into its component parts--roads, railroads, air transport, inland waterways, and
ocean waterways. Each section includes: (1) a summary of maps available and their respective
merits: and (2) a listing by scale of all maps recommended, with accompanying descriptions that
include area covered, scale, date, language, transportation data shown, other data shown, and
publishing authority. At least one place where each map can be found is mentioned, and for
most maps library call numbers are given. Pertinent information that is not apparent from other
columns, and brief comparisons between maps on related topics are included in the column headed
"Remarks".
Most of the maps listed include as background material major towns, maindrainage features,
and the boundaries of the five major political divisions of French Indochina. Unless indicated
to the contrary in the "Other Data" column, all maps have coordinates with longitude measured
from Greenwich. A few of the naps have geographic coordinates based on the Centesimal System,
ih which the circumference of the earth is divided into 400 parts (grads).*
Detailed index maps are given for the most important map sets, and a list of the abbrevi-
ations used in the report is appended.
Usable black and white reproductions of many of the maps listed as "file copies" may be
obtained from the Map Branch, CIA.
Maps that are classified Restricted or Conf idential are so labelled in the "Remarks" column.
?
To convert grads to degrees, multiply the number of grads by 0.90. Complete conversion tables can be found
in Conversion Tables, Centesimal to Seirsaesimal and Sexagesimsi to Centesimal. Army Map Service, Key No. 204244.
On ell maps mentioned in this report that use the Centesimal System longitude is measured frqm Paris, which is
2020'14" E. of Greenwich.

I. GENERAL TRANSPORTATION MAPS
Maps in this section show inter-relations among the major transportation features of
Indochina, but no one map adeouately shows all types of transportation for the area it covers.
Although all of the maps deal with more than one method of transport, most show only roads
and railroads and give no indication of the role of waterways or airways in the transportation
complex. Single-sheet maps of the whole country or of parts of the country, anti set nape
showing transport in greater detail by smaller areas are included. Detailed maps of specific
types of transportation are listed in the corresponding topical sections of the report.
Map 1 serves as an introduction to the subject of transportation. Although it is highly
generalized, the map presents vividly the best routes of access to significant areas. The
beat single-sheet map of roads and railroads is Map 7, which is excellent in practically all
respects. Map 8 is almost equally good, although not as recent. Map 9 is similar to 8, but
also includes ocean waterways and ports. On Map 5 some of the detail is incomplete, but the
map is available in quantity. Map 10 is both accurate and clearly presented, but gives less
background material than 5, 7 and 8. Roads, railroads, railroad facilities, canals, and ports
are shown on Map 6, but it is superior to others only in its presentation of relationships
among these features. Maps 4, 3. and 2 are more generalized single-sheet maps of the whole
country. map 4 is included only because it shows the chief ocean waterwais adochinp on a
general bsse. On Maps 2 and 3, the major transport routes in southeastern ARIA are exces_ently
presented. in general, Map 2 is the better, but Map 3 shows relief and connecting routes
between Indochina and China.
Maps 15, 21, and 17 are regional maps of parts of Indochina. Map 15 covers the Tonkin sad
Cochinchine deltas; 21 is an effective wall map of the Tonkin delta that includes inland and
ocean waterways; and 17 is r good map of Cembodge. Map 11 supplements the preceding maps by
indicating areas of transport difficulty in northern Indochina during flood seasons.
The remaining DIVE, are topographic sets at scales ranging from 1:1.000.000 to 1:100.000.
Of these, Map 18 at 1:403.003 is the clearest and most comprehensive. Air facilities are given
on Maps 13. 16, and 20 at 1:1,000.000. 1:500.000. and 1:250.000. respectively. Map 14 is a
1:1,000,000 wall map. Coverage at 1:25.000 also is available for parts of Indochina and may
be obtained in the Map Branch, CIA, and in the Library, Army Map Service. Such maps are not
Included in this report since they are of interest chiefly for specialized studies of small
areae.

II. ROAD MAPS
Detailed road maps of Indochina are abundant, but the coveragenowavailable does not reveal
road damage caused by current hostilities between the French and Vietnamese. Reports from Indo-
china indicate that the destruction has been extensive; many bridges have been damaged and are
either not functioning or only crudely repaired; numerous roads have been torn up, mined, or
bombed; and other roads have deteriorated through lack of maintenance. Consequently, available
maps of the Indocninese road net, though abundant and of excellent quality, are not entirely
reliable.
Most of the road maps described below can be divided into two groups: (II Single-sheet maps
that give an over-all picture of the entire country or of one of its major geographic subdivi-
sions, and (2/ set maps of the entire country that give greater detail on roads and a larger
number of related features, such as towns, railroads, and relief. Some of the single-sheet
maps contain the most recent road data.
The best single-sheet road map of Indochina is Map 10, which is detailed, recent, compara-
tively reliable, and clearly presented, and includes good background information. Map 11 is
almost as good as 10, although considerably older. Maps 9 and 14 show little besides roads but
are also well drafted and suitable for general use; 9 is available in quantity. Map 12 is an
out-dated version of 11, but is the only map accompanied by a table of distances. Although
generalized and in some respects incomplete, limp 7 includes railroads and relief indicated by
hachures, and is available in quantity. Maps 4 and 5 are excellent presentations of the major
roads of Indochinaand of their relation to the communication networks of nearby countries. Of
the two, Map 4 is the better, but 5 includes terrain and shows road connections with China. Map
1 is an outline map of the main roads of Indochina.
The best single-sheet mapsof regions within Ihdochina ares, 24, and 27. Map Rise clearly
drawn map or the road network and road distances in the area between Saigon and Angkor, and
raps 24 and 27 cover the Tonkin and Cochinchine deltas and Cambodge, respectively.
Several other single-sheet maps containing recent detailed information are of limited use
because of poor drafting or reproduction. Of these, Maps 8, 15, and 16, provide some of the
latest information available; Map 25 gives details not found elsewhere for some of the roads of

northern Indochina. A map similar to 25. covering southern Indochina, appearsinMilitary Topo-
graphical Study of Southern Indochina. Japanese Southern Army, General Headquarters, August 1944.
The original and an English translation are available in Foreign Documents Branch, CIA (Doc.
158688 and Translation 149 CONFIDENTIAL).
A few additional maps furnish valuable supplementary data. Map 2 indicates soil traffic-
ability: Map 3 locates fords; Map 13 shows the geological structure of Indochina; and Map 17
gives the conditions of highways in northern Indochina during the rainy season.
The best of the set maps covering Indochina is Map 28, an exceptionally legible and compre-
hensive road map at 1:400,000. Additional details at 1:400.000 are provided by the maps in
Item 29, which covers some of the major roads of northern Indochina. Maps similar to those
in Item 29, covering southern Indochina, appear in the Japanese military topographical study
previously mentioned. A number of sets provide detailed road coverage at other scales. Of
the five sets at 1:1.000,000, Maps 19 and 20 are the most useful. Although many of the sheets
of Map 21 are out of date, this set is the best 1:1.000,000 source for road alinements and
classifications. Map 22 is useful as a wall map; and Map 23 provides data on load capacity,
which arenot available elsewhere. The 1:500.000 set listed, Map26, does not provide complete
coverage of Indochina and is not so good as the 1:400.000 set mentioned above, but. is available
in quantity. Maps 30 and 31 at 1:253,440 and 1:250,000 provide almost complete coverage at
both scales, are about equal in quality, and are of adequate reliability for most purposes.
Map 32 at 1:250,000 is better than either, but covers only a small portion of the country. Map
33 at 1:250,000,which also covers a very small part of the country, is useful only for checking
road alinements. The basic topographic set of Indochina is Map 34 at 1:100,000; Map 35 is an
English-text copy of it; and Maps 36. 37, and38 at 1:100.000 provide alittleadditional material
for a few small areas. Topographic coverage of parts of Indochina is available at 1:25,000 in
the Map Branch, CIA, and the Library, Army Map Service. The great detail that such maps provide
would probably be required only for specialized studies of small areas.
Of the two remaining items listed, 18 gives a few elevation profiles and 39 gives details
of several ferry crossings. Similar maps covering southern Indochina appear in the Japanese
military topographical study previously mentioned.

III. RAILROAD MAPS
Numerous maps of Indochina's railroads are available. They are deficient only in not indi-
cating the disruption of service caused by French-Vietnamese hostilities. Of the more than
3,000 kilometers ofrailroad lines operating inIndochina before World War II, only about 1.200
kilometers were reported in operation in November 1947. Service even on these lines has been
erratic because of sabotage, particularly of bridges.
For a general picture of the railroads of Indochina, almost any map of the country is ade-
quate. The railroad pattern is very simple and most maps locate the main lines accurately.
Two errors, however, recur on general maps: a non-existent connecting line between Saigon and
Phnom Penh is often shown, and the existing line between Sisophon and the Siamese border is often
omitted. A few small branch lines do not appear on all maps, but they can be found on Map 3,
below, which is the best single-sheet map of railroads and railroad facilities in Indochina.
It is complete, reliable, and well drawn. Map 2, which is also a clear and detailed single-
sheet map of the railroads, includes some data on facilities that do not appear on Map 3. A
simplified but effective presentation of the historical development of the railroad system is
given by the four small maps that comprise Item 1.
Most of the remaining material listed consists of more detailed maps of sections of the rail-
road lines. Map 8 covers all of northern Indochina; and Maps 11, 12, 17, and 18 give details
on the lines that lead from Hanoi to Lao Kay, Vinh, Haiphong, and Na Cham. A nap similar to
8, covering southern Indochina, anrears in Military TofroffraPhical Study of Southern Indochina,
Jaranese Southern Army. General Headquarters, August 1944. The original and an English trans-
lation are available in Foreign Documents Branch, CIA (Doc. 158688 and Translation 148). Four
other maps give especially good information on stations. On map 4, stations of northern Indo-
china are divided into several classes. Map 5 is particularly good for stations of northern
Indochina and of the My Tho-Nha Trang line in southern Indochina. The section from Phnom Penh
to the Siamese border is covered in detail on Map 13, which includes a table of facilities.
Stations on the privately owned line extending from Haiphong toK'un-ming (Winnanfou) are shown
with exceptional clarity on Map 10. Although duplicating material shown on other maps, Map 9
is excellent for stations along the lines in operation in 1910, and includes a table of distances
and completion dates for the lines shown. Supplementary detail on the railroad lines, at a
scale of 1:100.000, can be found on Maps 22, 25, 26, and 27, and track and yard diagrams are
given in Item 29 and 30.0
Elevation profiles are available for a large part of the Indochinese railroad net. Maps
14' and 19 show the Saigon-Muong Man and HalphongLK'un-ming lines at scales of 1:1,000,000 and
1:325.000, respectively. Item 28 is a collection of large-scale profiles covering much of the
railroad net.
Also included in Section III are topographic sets at scales ranging from 1:1.000,000 to
1:100,000, whichare the best available maps for showing railroad alinement in relation to other
geographic features, such as roads, towns, and relief. Maps 6, 7, 15, 16, 20, 21, 23. and 24
fall within this category, Map 16 being especially good for minor lines. Topographic coverage
of part of Indochina is available at 1:25,000 in the Map Branch, CIA, and the Library, Army Map
Service.

IV. AIR TRANSPORT MAPS
Before and during World gar II, a large number of airfields were in operation in Indochina.
Important cities were served by well-equipped airports, and over 100 landing fields were scattered
throughout the country. Since the end of the war, however, many of the fields have been abandoned
because of the Scarcity of equipment and the disruptive influence of the French-Vietnamese con-
flict. At present Air Prance operates several flights from Saigon to other parts of the world,
and a few other international lines have begun to offer similar services. Air Prance has also
started to schedule a few domestic flights between major towns controlled by the French, such
as Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Tourane, and Dalai. The only other air travel consists of unscheduled
survey flights by foreign lines, and of flights associated with snail-scale military opera-
tions.
Many of the available air transport tape were rade during the 'Cr and are now considerably
out-of-date. The most complete and recentair data for Indochina appear on the 1:1.CCO,00O
operational charts published by the Aeronautical Chart Service, US Air Force (Hap 7 below).
Additional recent and reliable information can be found on Map 2, the 1:5,000,000 ACS planning
chart covering Indochina; and in Items 11 and 12, which contain the best apprcech and landing
charts for the area. Several other rape are also useful but must be used with caution because
ouch of the aeronautical intonation is obsolete. Of these, 9 and 10 are operational rape at
1:500,000 and 1:250.003 and 3 and 5 are naeful bathes planning charts and as long-range navi-
gation charts. Map 4, which classifies airfields according to their military plans capacity,
Is useful for strategic planning. Air navigation data on most of the preceding rays are re-
vised periodically.
Besides operational and planning charts, there are several other informative maps of air
transport in Indochina. Map 1 shows rain routes scrods Indochina and gives distances between
pointe. The extent of pre-World War II air transport is excellently illustrated by Map 6.
On Map 8, the terrain of Indochina is classified according to suitability for the construction
of airfields. The retraining four items 113, 14. 15, ani 161 are collections of airfield saps.

V. INLAND WATERWAYS NAPS
Indochina' s dense network of navigable waterways normally carries much carmerce, but such traf-
fic has been greatly curtailed during the last. few years. meny canals have been destroyed orare
badly in need of dredging, andmost other waterways are used infrequently because military con-
voys are necessary. Available maps give a good picture of the arteries that were navigable in
peacetime, but they do not indicate the current situation.
The maps listed in this section are of three types: Ill maps showing the navigability of
the inland waterways for the countryas a whole, (2) more detailed maps showing the navigability
of the inland waterways for parts of the country, and (3) topographic set maps that were not
designed specifically to show navigation but indicate the relationship of the drainage pattern
to other geographic features, such as relief, roads, railroads, or towns.
Of the five maps covering all of Indochina, Map 1 is the only single-sheet map giving a
detailed classification of waterways. Information on navigability given on Map 4 supplements
that on Map 1 by showing the needs of navigation for junks. Maps 2 and 3 indicate periods of
high and low water in streams. Larger-scale coverage of the navigable waterways of Indochina
is provided by Map 10, an 18-sheet set.
Detailed coverage of the navigable waterways of Indochinais adequate. Although most of the
maps show only Tonkin or Cochinchine, they include the two important delta areas, where the
role of inland waterways is of outstanding significance. Detail on navigability is available
for a large portion of the canals of the country on the 1:100.000 topographic sets, Maps 27 and
28. Twelve of the maps listed give details on waterways of northern Indochina only. Maps 5,
13, and 16, cover large areas and show a number of classes of waterways. To some extent, they
duplicate each other but each has unique features. Map 14 outlines clearly the principal water-
ways of Tonkin. Of the three maps of the Tonkin delta, Map 18 provides the most information
but is the least easily available and the most difficult Louse; Map 8 is the most easily avail-
able; andMap 22 presents slightly more detail on stream pattern than Map 8 but in other respects
is less detailed. Map 17 covers only the Red River. Several important coastal areas are cov-
ered by Item 29, and Item 30 includes large-scale sketches of small stretches of the rivers of
Tonkin. Maps 7 and 19 present supplementary material on northern Indochina, showing the effect
of flood conditions on water transport, and the types of ships in use. Of the maps covering
Cochinchine, Map 9 is a clear and comprehensive single-sheet map. Map 25 presents more detailed
information on principal, secondary, and tertiary canals. Map 20 should be consulted only if
an exhaustive study of the area is being undertaken, since i t is difficult to use and- contains
little information not available elsewhere. The two main obstacles to transport on the Mekong,
the Kemmarat Rapids and the Chutes de Khone, are shown on Maps 6 and 26, respectively. French
hydrographic charts are also available for both the lower Mekong River and parts of the Tonkin
delta (see Section VI). Maps similar to Items 5, 13, 17, 18, and 29, covering southern Indochina,
appear in Military Tofickgraphical Study of Southern Indochina, Japanese Southern Army, General
Headquarters, August 1944. The origins/ and an English translation are available in Foreign
Documents Branch, CIA (Doc. 158698 and Translation 148 CONFIDENTIAL).
The remaining maps, 11, 12. 15, 21, 23, 24, are topographic sets at scales of from 1:1,000.000
to 1:250,0W. Topographic coverage of parts of Indochina at 1:25.000 is also available in the
Map Branch, CIA, and in the Library, Any Map Service.

VI. OCEAN WATERWAYS MAPS
Maps of ocean waterways are limited chiefly to hydrographic charts published by official
agencies. The charts for Indochina are in general reliable, and the entire coastline and the
lower reaches or the Mekong River are covered by charts at various scales. Detailed large-scale
charts have been published for important ports and bays. Like most hydrographic charts, those
for Indochina give soundings, bathymetric lines, tide and current data, navigational aids and
hazards, and coastal features. Topographic features, including important landmarks visible
from the sea, are shown for a narrow strip of land bordering the coastline. The most useful
of the nautical charts on Indochina are those published by France and by the United States.
Index maps for the charts of both series are appended. The charts are not described individ-
ually because all follow the standard pattern.
The nautical charts of the French Service Hydrographique delaMarine are the basic charts
on Indochina. They offer the most detailed coverage (see index map, Fig. 9), and are the prin-
cipal source of data for hydrographic charts produced by other countries. Although some are
dated as early as 1867, over half of the French charts have been published since 1925. About
15 percent were published before 1900, and about 20 percent since 1940. A complete file of
the French charts is maintained in the Division of Maritime Security, U.S. Hydrographic Office.
The titles, dates, and scales of the charts are listed in Catalogue des Cartes. Plans et Ouurages
(Service Hydrographique de la Marine, Paris, 1945), which is available in the Map Library. CIA,
as well as at the U.S. Hydrographic Office.
The U.S. Hydrographic Office has constructed its own editions of about half of the French
charts on Indochina. For coverages, scales, and dates, see index map, Fig. 8. Although based
on the French surveys, Most of the USHO charts have been brought up-to-date from mariners'
notices and intelligence reports.
The few single-sheet maps listed below include a variety of general information on ports,
routes, distances, and types of ships in operation, as well as some details on tidal currents
and port facilities. Additional material on harbors and port facilities appears in Military
Togograghical Study of Southern Indochina, Japanese Southern Army, leneral Headquarters, August.
1944. The original and an English translation are available in the Foreign Documents Brancn,
