This detailed nineteenth-century map depicts the northern portion of the Indian subcontinent during the British Raj. Published in Edinburgh by A. & C. Black and engraved by John Bartholomew, the map extends from Afghanistan and Beloochistan across the Karakoram and Himalayan ranges down to Rajputana, the Central Provinces, and the mouth of the Ganges in Bengal. A color-coded legend in the upper right details administrative boundaries, distinguishing the Presidency of Bengal, North West Provinces, Punjab, Oude, Central Provinces, and Independent Native States such as Nepal, Kashmir, and Bhutan. The map exhibits exceptional cartographic precision with fine hachuring depicting major mountain chains, alongside intricate networks of rivers, roads, and cities.
