the University of Texas library has maps of Burma made by the US Army in 1955.
The roads and railways and airfields should be about the same as during the WW2 era.
Here is the Burma link: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/burma/
Here is the IndoChina-Thai link: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/indoc..._thailand/
Airfields covered on your slice of Burma would be at Rangoon (Mingaladon), Toungoo, near Pyinmana, Thata, and at Moulmein.
Below is the map of Rangoon area.
Notice the oil facilities and docks at Syriam/Rangoon that were bombed by RAF Liberators and US B-24s.
Two Railways from Rangoon go north to Insein and Mingaladon and then they merge together and go northwest (off map area).
Another railway goes northeast to Pegu where it splits...one goes north to Toungoo and Pyinmana and further north....and the other goes around Gulf of Martaban to Moulmein and further south.
Look for similar maps at the links above.
