Google Earth Oblique Terrain View with Placemark Annotated RT Vermont at Booby Trap???, Modern Screen Capture

A present-day Google Earth screen capture, not a wartime photograph. Working from memory and mission records, a researcher has placed a labeled marker on forested terrain to propose the spot where RT Vermont encountered a booby trap, the triple question mark in the label recording the uncertainty of the identification. Modern satellite imagery is now routinely used by MACV-SOG veterans and historians to relocate cross-border ground that was mapped only by grid coordinate at the time and has since been reshaped by roads, settlement and regrowth.
