A central section of Stein's map showing in the south his route across the ranges and valleys behind the K'un-lun from Lake Kighten north as Khotan and Keriya with the oases between them. In left center see his routes south from Khotan to Karanghu-tag, Busant valley and Otrughal glacier in his unsuccessful effort to penetrate through the K'un-lun - then on the east side see his routes though Chakar and Khan-Langar around the highest ranges. He first found the sources of the Yurung-kash far east of its eventual exit from the mountains. Then he found the headwaters of the Keriya River before crossing the watershed into the interior drainage of Lake Lighten. From there he passed west out of this map section. cOther red lines trace survey routes north of the mountains.
