Abstract

Through field surveys, data collection and processing, and the use of GIS (Geographic Information System), we have constructed geographic maps of An Giang province to serve teaching, learning, and researching local geography. The research results have built 3 geographic maps of An Giang province at a scale of 1:400,000, including soil, flood, and population maps. These maps will be a necessary addition to the map system of An Giang province to serve the needs of teaching, learning, and researching local geography.
