The "Map of Indochina from Atlas du Voyage d'Exploration en Indochine 1866-68" is a historically significant cartographic work that accompanied the report of the Mekong Exploration Commission, led by French naval officer and explorer Francis Garnier. The map is part of an atlas that documents the ambitious French expedition undertaken from 1866 to 1868, which aimed to assess the navigability of the Mekong River and to expand French knowledge of the region for potential colonial expansion and trade routes.

This detailed map reflects the geographical knowledge and territorial intricacies of the Indochina region during the mid-19th century, covering areas that today include Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and parts of southern China. It is a testament to the era's cartographic techniques and colonial interests, showcasing river paths, topography, settlements, and other features that were crucial for navigation and exploration.

The atlas, and by extension the map, was a result of extensive fieldwork and is considered an important artifact in the history of Southeast Asian cartography. It not only provided valuable information for the French colonial administration but also contributed to the broader European understanding of the region. The map remains a resource for historians and geographers studying the historical landscape of Indochina and the impact of European exploration and colonialism in Asia.

As a part of the atlas, the "Map of Indochina" is an example of the scientific and exploratory endeavors of the 19th century, reflecting the interplay between exploration, imperialism, and the advancement of geographic knowledge. The work of Francis Garnier and his team, encapsulated in this map, laid the groundwork for subsequent French influence in the region, which would eventually lead to the establishment of French Indochina, a collection of colonial territories in Southeast Asia.
