Hi,
I'm working w/ a researcher who's "working to trace the disappearance of
several people from the Saigon area circa 1957-58, and to reunite the
family members, including children, who were separated.": He's looking for
(very large-scale) street maps. Ideally, said maps would show both street
names and, if possible, block/building numbers. Looking for suggestions.
Here's what I've found so far:

Perry-Castaneda (UTexas) has a 1:10k map produced by the National
Geographic Service of Vietnam  ca. 1961, then copied and distributed by the
US Army as Series L9012.

Our friend down under at NLA has a 1:10K-ish map ca. 1946 (
https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-384253833/view) and a 1:12500 map ca. early
1960s (https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-234149022/view).

Worldcat sez:
Army Map Service Series L909 (Vietnam City Maps) includes a 1:12,500-scale
"Sài Gòn" sheet. (Worldcat:
https://www.worldcat.org/title/vietnam-city-maps-115000-sai-gon/oclc/234140498)
Anybody have it? .
A second edition was issued by the Army at 1:15,000 ca. 1968 (Worldcat:
https://www.worldcat.org/title/vietnam-city-maps-112500-sai-gon-saigon/oclc/21395197).
Anybody have it?

Other ideas?

Thanks!
