Topographic Reference Map, Laos/Vietnam Border Karst Region -- 'Boxer 22' SAR Planning Map

This topographic map of the karst-riddled terrain along the Nam In and Nam Nao rivers was used in planning a search-and-rescue effort for the aircrew known by the callsign 'Boxer 22.' Maps like this were essential tools for SAR crews navigating the dense jungle and limestone karst formations of the Laos-Vietnam border region during the war. Project: 218834
