Nomenclature of topographic maps of Vietnam

 Print Previous page Top page Next page

Nomenclature of topographic maps depends on map scale. There are the following scales of topographic maps of Socialist Republic of Vietnam:

-1 : 1 000 000;

-1 : 500 000;

-1 : 250 000;

-1 : 100 000;

-1 : 50 000;

-1 : 25 000;

-1 : 10 000.

 

Maps sheets of scale 1: 1 000 000 are denoted by four capital letters of the English alphabet and figures. The first symbol indicates the hemisphere:

-N – northern;

-S – southern.

 

The second character indicates the zone number 4 ° from A to U, starting from the equator towards the two hemispheres.

The next two digits indicate the number of zones of ruling the earth ellipsoid, starting with the meridian of 180 °. Is from 1 to 60, increasing in the east direction (for example: NF-48).

Maps of scale 1: 500 000 are designated by capital letters of English alphabet A, B, C, D which are recorded after the sheet's nomenclature of maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 (for example NC-48-C).

 

_engbm5696

 

Maps of scale 1: 250 000 are designated by figures from 1 to 16 which are recorded after the sheet's nomenclature of maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 (for example: NF-48-16).

 

_engbm5697

 

Maps of scale 1: 100 000 are designated by four figures. The first two figures are started from 00 (east meridian 75 °) and are increased towards the east. The next two figures are started from 01 (southern parallel 4 °) and are increased in the direction of the north (for example 5949).
