What are the natural landmarks in Vietnam?
The "Rockpile" shouldn't be easy to miss. Located due west of Quang Tri along Highway 9 (formerly called QL 9, Rt 9; but it really was just a dirt road once you passed Camp Carroll). Lots of fighting around that "rockpile."
Are there any landmarks in vietnam?
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.
The area know as the rockpile was located where in Vietnam?
MR-I (Military Region I, also known as I Corps). Drive due west along Hwy 9 (also called Route 9 or QL 9) starting from Dong Ha/Quang Tri (Dong Ha & QT are next to each other). It'll be a dirt road after a few miles from Quang Tri; nearing the old Khe Sanh Firebase area the Rock-pile will be on the right, about a mile north of RT 9. Looks like a lone mountain peak and not a pile of rocks. All open area around it between the highway and the mountain. Attached to the Rockpile northward (behind it) are a chain of hills (mountains) that was called the "Razor-backs" by GI's. In the open area from the base of the mountain to highway 9, two or three miles west exactly on the south edge of the highway stood Firebase Vandergrift. Vandergrift took alot of rockets (122mm) from the Rock-Pile area...you could hear them coming.
What took place on Hill 56 in Vietnam?
Located vicinity Americal Division AO near Chu Lai; standard operations, standard small unit contacts (normal small unit firefights). Nothing out of the ordinary (like Hamburger Hill or Dak To, etc.). Same with Rockpile up in I Corps. Famous place, but no spectacular battles on the hilltop itself; just around it.
