Hi, I have a Question concerning the Maps of SOI About the activities of the native Explorers (Pundits) in Tibet/central asia. Is there an overview (table, list, etc.)of all published Maps regardings this issue?
Thanks!
We know of no such list of maps by SoI about the Pundits. The best book on the Pundits is probably “1990 The Pundits–British Exploration of Tibet and Central Asia by Waller”. MCADDeditor
I wish to know the area (latitude and longitude) for Topo sheet Map No. 73 J/7. This is required by one of our student for his study. I could locate 73 J but not J/7 and unable to know the area covered by this. Can you please help?
for 50K and 250K topo index map, you may check this site http://imap.indigeo.com you can search by lat/lon and find topo sheet numbers.
hi, im after copies of maps 84 D/9,D/5,C/8 and C/12. these are of the kalapanzin valley in the arakan. i need these maps to trace my fathers movements in 1943/45 as they have the military coords.
You don’t say where you’re located, but it appears you need to find a good map library, such as British Library or Library of Congress. The area you need is a bit outside our area of interest. MCADDeditor
sorry, im in the uk.
well it was a long time ago but these maps were published by you! lol
these come from MAP G7720 S 63. there were millions of these maps printed…i can find none.
jim.
sir can you show the update sheet no 45j/11.
The map 45 J/11 of the Survey of India covers the city of Ajmer in Rajasthan. As this falls in the plains of India, rather than the northern mountains, it is not included in the MCADD area of interest and we do not have a copy. Sorry. MCADDeditor
Sir , In which format 1945 Index 53 is visible ? More over ,practically after Google Earth appeared in Our PC , Prejudice about border line map is became irrelevant. But still we need it for initial preparation for Trekking and mountaineering. Why dont you make easy available to Indians? It will be better if you publish Latest 1:50,000 maps in Pahar or in printed format
Is it possible to upload Survey of India scanned topo-sheets.
The Government of India restricts the distribution of maps showing the border areas.
Please see this University of Texas link http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/topo/india_253k/ for quarter inch topo sheets of North India from a bygone era. Some excellent but now out-of-date maps are available here. MCADDeditor
