Content

Printed map with hand drawn additions. The map has two subtitles at its top: ‘Afghānistan, Baluchistān & Persia’ and ‘Sheet No. 30 Sīstān’, and is also labelled ‘Map No. 1, 2nd Edition (1928)’. It was published under the direction of Colonel Sir Sidney Gerald Burard, Surveyor General of India, 1918. The printed map indicates: hydrology; topography, with contours and heights; settlements; roads and railways; boundaries (international, province/state, district/tribal).

The hand drawn additions to the map, with accompanying key, were made and signed by Captain Guy Bomford of the Royal Engineers and Superintendent of the Survey of India. They are: vertical blue lines indicating the area covered by the Indian Survey of 1932; horizontal blue lines indicating the Persian survey up to 11 May 1932; and solid pink regions indicating uninhabitable areas.

The map is referred to in a copy of a secret letter from Bomford to the Surveyor General of India, dated 7 June 1932 (ff 113-114).
