After scouring the internet for a good map of Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam (also known as Saigon), I decided to make one myself. This is a political map showing select districts within the city. The main issue with other maps is that they don’t clearly show all of the main districts in the core of the city. I remedied this by omitting large parts of the city, which are primarily used for farmland, while still maintaining a relatively small (i.e. zoomed-out) scale. This map can be used when searching for housing, planning a trip, or simply navigating through Ho Chi Minh City. I used spatial data from Google Maps to form the polygons used in this map. District 2 is further subdivided into wards, as some realtors refer a property’s ward when describing its location in this district.
Thank you so much! I have done my own searches for decent maps that clearly outline the districts and come up with nothing satisfactory. This is exactly what I was looking for each of those times! I’m sure many people will be grateful for your efforts!
Wonderful clear map for core-uban area. I did not know your name to cite
I found it, Codie Leseman
Thank you so much, I was exactly looking for this.
Same. Just what I was looking for. Cam ơn.

Hi Codie,
May you guide me how to get the polygon bounds of these district in details ?
Thanks,

@kungtu17T – I just copied the polygons from Google Maps. Go to google.com and search for “district 1, ho chi minh city” for example. 🙂
Hi all, I’m planning our first trip to Vietnam, especially Saigon. Could anyone help me out with the suggestions of where to stay? What district is the centre of the city? Any tips for places to visit and things to do? We are very much interested in the culture of food there. So places with local good quality meals would be great! Thank you for every little help;)
thank you cody .. hopefully we will now know where we are going .. LOL
Thanks Codie, it’s very useful.
Woah, thanks a million for this! It really isn’t easy looking for a map of the country with the districts clearly shown. The airport inclusion is a plus! Really appreciate it!
Thanks heaps, couldn’t find anything like it and just what I needed!
Thank you so much Codie. Cam on nhieu.
Much appreciated! This is definitely the best district map of the city, super useful.
Thanks for your sharing with efforts. I am facing an issue like you before when i want to make own map for my work i.e I need to remark district 2 & 5 only, I do not know how to draw because I could not draw on the google map. Could you please share the tools or way to make it done like such map. Thanks you so much so much.

Hi Codie, thank you for this. I was wondering if we’re able to somehow transfer the district overlays to Google Earth Pro? Thanks!

I couldn’t agree more with everyone else! I also had a difficult time searching for a good map. This is very helpful! Thanks for putting this together and providing details for each one of the district. Thanks again!
Hello. May I use your map in a YouTube video? I would of course give you credit in the description.
Hello! May I use a copy of your map image in a blog post with a direct link and citation of your name and website please? if not that’s ok – but I just love how detailed this map is and I think my readers would find it helpful! Thank you 😀
Hi Codie! Thanks for creating this map. I’m talking about Saigon in my YouTube video and was wondering if I can use your map. I’ll link to your website in the caption for sure. Let me know!
Thank you so much!
