Geographic features are mountains, rivers, Mekong Delta -- anything that was formed by nature.
You could also include a map of Canada, because Tim stayed at the Tip Top Lodge there.

For pictures -- go to Google Images and search for Vietnam. You could also search for Vietnam War. I know you'll find dozens of good pictures there.
To find pictures of where the Vietnam War was fought, you can start by searching on the internet. One option is to use search engines such as Google and search for "Vietnam War images" or "Vietnam War maps." This will give you a variety of pictures and maps related to the war.
Another option is to visit reliable websites that provide historical information about the Vietnam War. Some good sources include academic websites, museums, and educational resources like PBS. For example, you can try visiting the website for the PBS documentary series on the Vietnam War, which has a section dedicated to maps and images.
Additionally, books and documentaries about the Vietnam War often include maps and images. You could try searching for books specifically about the war, such as "The Vietnam War" by Ken Burns and Geoffrey C. Ward. These books usually contain visual materials that can help you with your project.
When creating your map, be sure to include the countries involved in the war, such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. You can mark these countries on your map using colored pencils, markers, or any other method you prefer. For cities, you can label major cities that played significant roles in the war, such as Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), Hanoi, Hue, and Da Nang.
For geographic features, think about the natural landscapes and landmarks in the areas where the war took place. Some examples include the Mekong Delta, the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), and various rivers and mountains. You can represent these features on your map using symbols or by drawing them directly on the map.
Remember to double-check the accuracy of your map by consulting reliable resources and maps specifically created for the Vietnam War. This will ensure that your map accurately represents the places and features relevant to your character's experience in the war.
