About this item
- Content
Map comprised of four Survey of India sheets stuck together, which were published under the direction of Colonel Sir Sidney Gerald Burard, Surveyor General of India, in 1915. The map shows the frontier region of British Baluchistan [in present-day Pakistan] through which the North Western Railway runs. The map indicates: hydrology; topography, with some indication of terrain; settlements; marked in pen, the route of the North Western Railway, with stops/stations; marked on coloured pencil, various boundaries: between Afghanistan and Baluchstan (green) between Persia [Iran] and Baluchistan (blue/red). A handwritten note at the bottom of the map states that the blue boundary line is that marked by Colonel Arthur Henry McMahon as corresponding to the Holdich Line agreed between Britain and Persia in 1896, and that the red line corresponds to that for which McMahon suggested Persian consent might be obtained.
There is an illegible signature on the reverse of the map, dated 11 May 1916.
