About this record
- Content
This map shows the distribution of Turkoman tribal communities that straddle the basins of the Gourgan and Atreck river basins that flow from the Caucasus into the Caspian Sea. A dotted line across the map separates the Goklan and Yomut tribes. The map also shows the location of the tribal settlements, their divisions, and approximate size of their settlements. The map was drawn by Percy Molesworth Sykes and is part of a set of papers intended for future research by Lord George Curzon for his book, Persia and the Persian Question . The map also has a scale indicating that one inch is equal to eight miles.
