<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Tony, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have you tried looking at topographical maps? Generally speaking, topos of small countries that are available in digitized form are those made by bigger, more well-resourced countries that have had international mapping projects -- and
so they have an outsider/colonial perspective, and typically they are produced in whatever language is used in their country of sponsorship. But, topos could still prove useful for your patron, if only because they tend to be so very detailed. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Christopher Thiry, the map librarian at the Colorado School of the Mines library, has created a couple of nice interfaces that link to scanned topographical maps held by a number of libraries. He's divided them by scale -- the
<a href="http://csmgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=a1e64a3700b441ebab55d0eec37b54a2">
index for maps at 1:200,000 to 1:253,440</a> includes some maps that cover parts of Myanmar/Burma. The couple that I looked at are AMS maps, produced by the US military in the mid-late 20th century. (The other index is for
<a href="http://csmgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=a78c3bcfabe1497dba55185fb517f5ca">
maps at 1:50,000 to 1:124,000 scale</a>, but it looks like it doesn't include any maps of Myanmar/Burma.)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another possibility is <a href="https://www.oldmapsonline.org/">
OldMapsOnline</a>, which is a visual index that links to digitized maps from various libraries and archives around the world. As you might expect from the name, its specialty is
<i>old</i> maps, but depending on the nature of your patron's inquiry, old maps might be just the ticket.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">You could also join the <a href="https://listserv.uga.edu/archives/maps-l.html">
MAPS-L</a> list and pose your question there! It's a very friendly list, read by lots of smart map librarians.<o:p></o:p></p>
