Description
This large road map of India is the second edition to be published by the National Surveyor’s Office and shows updates dating to March of 1965, according to the revision table in the lower left. The timing is notable considering the following month, military skirmishes with Pakistan would outbreak, resulting in the Second Kashmir War.
Important routes are highlighted in red, with highways defined between all-weather and fair-weather. Information relevant to motorists like petroleum depots, lodging, and distance markers is also identified by the legend in the upper right. Geographic features, historic sites, steamer routes, and other ‘Tourist Places of Interest’ are also identified.
