On this page will be found 1:50,000 tactical size maps like the ones we used of the Chu Lai area with over 60 firebases identified. The 6 sections of the Tien Phouc map are 1970 vintage; The other maps are 1983 and 1984.

You will note that a couple of locations along the joint between the Tien Phouc and the map above have been flooded due to the construction of dams since 1970. This flooding would continue into the lower map if it had been made in 1984.You will also note from markings on the maps that Cherry Hill and several other American and ARVN locations were destroyed when the NVA swept through the area after we left. Red circles indicate the maximum effective range of our radar from some of our locations. Most of the firebase locations came from the Americal Division Association website. Firebase coordinates will be posted soon.

If you are going to print the full sized maps, we recommend that you download them and print them using your favorite graphics program. Most Internet Browsers will not print the full image as they are larger than the screen.

Set your printer and program to the Landscape mode and print them with minimum margins and as big as they can be on the page. The maps overlap slightly so to join them into one large map you must cut the border off of one of the joining maps. the resultant map will be slightly smaller than the USGS original and the quality will not be quite as good, but you should be able to find anything on the copy that is on the original.
