Detail from Stein's map in -Sands - shows his routes from India across Pamirs during his first expedition - his detour to attempt to climb Muatagh Ata - he reached 20,000 of the 24,000 peak from the north, then continued through Gez Defile - not the frequent moves across ridges where the defile was impassable. It shows his visits to three ruin sites north of Kashgar. Also shows his route to Yokand - He went through desert to see Ordan-Padshah. Then on return trip following year he used the main caravan route through Yangi Hissar.
