This is a historical map titled “INDIA X”, created under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It offers a detailed 19th-century cartographic representation of northern India, extending into regions of modern-day Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Chinese Tartary. The map showcases major cities such as Delhi, Lahore, and Kabul, alongside rivers, mountain ranges, and trade routes. A detailed legend categorizes towns into over 80 classes based on significance, and elevations are marked in Toises (an old French unit of length). The map is not only a geographical record but also a reflection of colonial-era administrative and scholarly efforts to document South Asia with precision.
