Trans-Himalayan Maps

Over the past few months, I have attempted to compile an extensive library of maps detailing various aspects of the Trans-Himalayas. I have found several excellent historical and physical maps online, ranging from early explorer's maps to present-day trekking maps of Kailash and Mansarovar. However, I have also scanned some important maps from books I have recently reviewed. Here are just a few:


Constable's Hand Atlas of India 1893 (CNRS)


Detailed Physical Map (Jules Verne Voyager)

Missionary Map of Tibet 1897 (WWW Virtual Library)

Gurkha Empire (Ives & Messerli, 1989)

Cross-Section of Nepal Himalayas (Ives & Messerli, 1989)

Himalayan Regions (Ives & Messerli, 1989)

Mansarovar from Space (ISSEarthKAM)


Ladakh at the Centre of Asian Trade (Rizvi, 1999)


India-China Border 1988 (Perry-Castañeda Library
Map Collection
)


Trans Himalayan Caravan Routes (Rizvi, 1999)


West Nepal & Kailash Map (Nepal Trekking Resources)


Proposed Golmud to Lhasa Railway (International Campaign for Tibet)

Western Trans-Himalayas

I agree with most of your points, but some need to be discussed further, I will hold a small talk with my partners and perhaps I will ask you some suggestion later.
