Writing in 1987 as participants in the compilation programme, the authors describe the National Atlas of Vietnam as a project involving the USSR Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Geography and then expected to appear in the late 1980s. They outline 17 sections covering the physical environment, seas, nature conservation, population, economy and social services. Their account lists nine geomorphological maps, 16 inland-water maps, 56 agricultural maps and 38 industrial maps. Hydrological coverage includes runoff, sediment transport, the Red River and Mekong delta plains, and water availability per capita; industrial coverage includes rice processing, handicrafts and fisheries. The authors note that earlier Vietnamese thematic atlases had chiefly covered the north. These details document the atlas during preparation, without establishing the final contents of the 1996 publication.

The article treats the National Atlas of Vietnam as one of four Soviet-assisted national atlas projects, described as forthcoming in the late 1980s. It reports a 17-section structure, 56 agricultural maps, 38 industry maps, 16 hydrologic maps and nine geomorphological maps, a seven-step scale series from 1:1,000,000 to 1:9,000,000, and a 64 × 45 cm format. It characterizes the Vietnamese and Mongolian atlases as having more modern structures and broader social and economic coverage than the first Cuban atlas. These are the authors' accounts of the compilation plan and its projected content, not confirmation of the final contents of the 1996 published edition.
