The main map shows Laos’s road network, including the Northern Economic Corridor, which connects China and Thailand via northwestern Laos, and Chinese-built roads constructed in the 1960s and ’70s, also in the northwest. The main map and an inset map also show other locations such as Laos’s capital, Vientiane; Nam Nyu, a former special military zone in the northwestern interior; and Muang Houng, a former resettlement zone in the interior of the central Lao panhandle. A locator map is also included, positioning Laos in mainland Southeast Asia, landlocked between China, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
