In 1960, a city plan of Saigon, now part of District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City, was produced. This map, primarily in Vietnamese, features bilingual street labels in both Vietnamese and English, offering a comprehensive view of the city center. Notable landmarks like the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Central Post Office, and the Saigon Opera House are prominently indicated.
Titled 'Bản Đồ Chỉ Dẫn Saigon - Cholon,' which translates to 'Map of Saigon - Cholon,' this map also encompasses Cholon, a historic Chinese quarter within Saigon. The map was published by the Saigon Moi newspaper, a French-language publication that circulated in Saigon from 1955 to 1975.
This map stands as a valuable historical artifact, offering a window into Saigon's landscape during the early 1960s. It showcases the city's pre-war urban development and underscores its significance as a hub for commerce and culture. Furthermore, it serves as a poignant reminder of the city's colonial heritage under French rule.
