COMPARISON OF MAPS
IN SERINDIA AND INNERMOSTASIA

  
 

Sir Aurel Stein

 
 

In this table we compare the maps in Aurel Stein's reports Serindia and Innermostasia Each map sheet in Serindia includes one degree of longitude and one of latitude. There are gaps between map sheets for areas not surveyed. - Each map in Innermostasia includes two degrees of latitude and two of longitude. There are no gaps between map sheets, but in many maps there are large blank spaces for unexplored areas.Innermostasia contains map sheets of areas explored during the third expedition but not during the first or second expeditions. Thus a single map sheet from Innermostasia may contain several from Serindia. But the boundaries of maps in the two sets do not match exactly so there are overlaps. Here {short description of image} we have overlaid a map showing the layout of the Serindia map set with red outlines of the Innermostasia map set and added in red their map numbers. This makes for quick comparison and ability to check a location on both map series.
