SERINDIA MAPS - STEIN

These are photos made from the original maps in Volume V of Serindia, Aurel Stein's report on his Second Expedition into Chinese Turkestan.

The southern half of map sheet # 27 - Sampula - This shows the Yurung Kash River along the west edge flowing into the Kara Kash to become the Kotan River that continues north into the desert. The road to the SW goes to KHotan and north to Aksu. Stein found many ruins as shown in red, especially at RAWAK. Along the southern edge the road from the west connects Khotan with Keriya to the east.
