This interesting map of India extends from the Maldives and Sri Lanka in the south to Tibet in the north and provides many place names of regions, towns, mountains, rivers, and even a "road beset with trees" is labeled. The British interests in this region correspond to the East India Company's growing influence in India. Published in London in Thomas Salmon's Modern History: or the Present State of All Nations.
