Actually, it was a shortfall here at UCSB for many years to.  One of the
last big purchases of paper maps that Mary Larsgaard made before
retiring was sets from Vietnam.

This brought our coverage to:

1:50k   AMS                     c.1960-65       98% coverage
1:100k  Vietnamese produced     c. 1980s        75% coverage
1:500k  Vietnamese produced     c. 1963         unknown.


I wish I could say these are scanned and ready for sharing, but that
would be a lie.
