Tonkin. Le Delta [Tonkin: The Delta]
A detailed map of the Red River delta and north-eastern Tonkin, then under French administration and now northern Vietnam. Hanoi sits at the centre of a dense field of towns and villages extending through Sơn Tây, Bắc Ninh, Nam Định, Hải Phòng and Lạng Sơn to the frontier with Guangxi, China. The Red and Thái Bình river systems, distributaries, canals, dykes, roads and railways reveal the delta’s highly developed communications landscape. The coast and islands of the Gulf of Tonkin are continued in an inset covering Hạ Long Bay, Cát Bà and the former Baie de Faï-Tsi-Long.
