The only distinguishable landmark in the former "South" Vietnam, that won't be or hasn't been affected by man, the weather, or time itself, is the "Rockpile" located about a mile north of QL 9 (Highway 9 also known as Route 9) which ran east to west/west to east from Dong Ha (which borders Quang Tri in I Corps) to Khe Sanh. Just to the south of Rt 9 (QL 9) almost directly across from the "Rockpile" was the US Army firebase Vandergrift (and contained a battery of split trailed 155mm howitzers at the time) which actually bordered the southern edge of Rt-9. NVA 122mm rockets continuously bombarded the firebase from the Rockpile area during the Lam Son 719 operation in 1971.
