I quickly checked our set and we have 13 sheets total. I didn't compare
it against other sets but here is what we have at 1:1M:

Does anyone hold the French series "Carte de l'Indochine", 1:1,000,000, from the 1920s/30s?

I am trying to work out the extent of the series.

We have sheets 4 and 6 only, covering parts of north Vietnam, but the index diagrams on the sheets only show the immediately surrounding sheets.

I presume the series cover more than just 9 sheets, and is probably 15 or 18 sheets.

Can anyone confirm the number of sheets, series extent or have an index?

There appears no relationship with the same titled series at 1:500,000: that is, the 1:500,000 series is not simply quartersheets of the 1:1,000,000 series.


Thanks
