Map needed.

This article sorely needs a decent map covering from the southern tip of Yunnan Province to Pakbeng, with the old Route 46 alignment shown on it. Vintage 1966–1971. It would then become apparent that the Chinese occupation of the Pakbeng Valley essentially isolated the entire west and northwest of Laos from the rest of the nation.Georgejdorner (talk) 04:58, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
