It shows railways, roads, canals, oil pipelines, cities, towns, and natural features in excellent detail.
The coverage area extends from Formosa to the Timor Sea, between the Andaman Islands, and western New Guinea.
The map identifies a large "Dangerous Area (Unsurveyed)" in the South China Sea, west of Palawan.
There are three large insets: [1] Hong Kong, Macau, and vicinity; [2] Singapore; and [3] Manila.
It was published by the National Geographic Society in May 1961 as a supplement to

A few months after this map was printed, President John F. Kennedy ordered more help for the South Vietnamese government in its war against the Vietcong guerrillas. U.S. backing included new equipment and more than 3,000 military advisors and support personnel. America's first combat missions against the Vietcong would soon follow.
