Map of the
Indian sub-continent together with Burma or modern Myanmar showing the courses
of the great rivers and their basins.

As well as
showing the basins of rivers such as the Ganges, the Indus, the Brahmaputra and
the Irrawaddy, the map also shows the irrigation works which had been established
in northern India. These include the Upper Ganges Canals, the Sutlej Canals and
the Bardoar Canals now renamed the Indira Gandhi Canal.

This map was
published as part of Stanford’s Indian Atlas sourced from maps in British Parliamentary
Papers commissioned by the British government to show the infrastructure as well
as the physical, geological and ethnic features of the land.
