Survey of India
113 x 85 cm
Large separately issued folding plan of Madras, now Chennai. Issued by the Government of India mainly for administrative purposes but also commercially available.
The size of this map accommodates the extraordinary detail which is shown. As well as major infrastructure, such as railways, rivers and the port, the map also shows water reservoirs, the Indian Institute of Technology, the Racecourse and Guindy Park in the south. An inset next to the title is a small schematic showing the position of Chennai in relation to other major nearby population centres such as Bangalore.
