About this record

Content

The map forms one of three map enclosures to a report written by Captain Bertie Wilmot Mainprise assessing whether a more suitable port than the existing one at Bandar Abbas could be created further to the west.

The map shows a stretch of coastline from Suru to the Rud-i-Kul on the southern coast of Persia, indicating built-up areas, settlements, hydrology, vegetation, cultivation, relief with contours and spot heights, roads, paths, wells and reservoirs. The map also provides a key to symbols.

A printing statement reads, 'S[imla].D[rawing].O[ffice]. No. 887 February, 1914.', and a hand-stamp on the verso The back of a sheet of paper or leaf, often abbreviated to 'v'. reads, 'Received in Political Department 23 Mar 1914'.
