Dak To--Kon Hojao (map scans) (Khu trưng bày xe tăng) (Thị trấn Đắk Tô)

Pre-75 Kon Hojao became post-75 Dak To. Or to put it another way, pre-75 Dak To was 4 kilometers north of contemporary Dak To.

The post-75 renaming of towns in this area has made history confusing to non-historians. Even some road numbers have been changed.

Above, the 2 scans on the left were made from a Dak To map sheet dated January 1971.
(Hiện là quảng trường trung tâm huyện (trưng bày 02 xe tăng)

Also above, the right-most scan was made from a 1984 Vietnamese map sheet. Note that Kon Hojao is spelled Kon ho giao.

For contemporary maps see Tap Ban Do, Giao Thong Duong Bo, Viet Nam. First printed in 2004, the atlas sold for US$10 in 2005. However, a new edition is in print.
