This map shows the river basin of the Meghna and Padma Rivers within Bangladesh, with Dhaka shown near bottom center. The Padma River, which begins as the Ganges River in India, and the Meghna River empty into the Bay of Bengal, forming the Ganges Delta. The inset at bottom right illustrates the rise in the water level of the Jalangi River during the rainy season. A fleur-de-lis orients north to the bottom left corner of the map. The map was originally drawn by James Rennell, the Surveyor General of the East India Company, and published in A Bengal Atlas circa 1780. This example was copied by C. C. Glassbach for a later publication.
