I took a cruse to Hamburger Hill and the Ho Chi Minh trail. Some of the old Firebases are hard to find. Any chance there is a reference with coordinates of each base?

My uncle found his fire base on Google Earth last year. Was pointing out where his hooch was, where his counter battery radar van was, and where all sorts of things took place. Very interesting.Rabid Cougar said:

Check Amazon for "Where We Were in Vietnam" Comprehensive data base of every base, airstrip, lz , etc...in Vietnam. Very comprehensive , has it all.
I went down like a four hour rabbit hole last night looking up locations of bases on current-day google maps. Really interesting stuff.
I am back in Texas. I can't wait to look these up.
I googled my old Kasern from when I was assigned to Hanau, Germany in 1977-79. Their are only three buildings left that I vaguely recognized.
