63k Maps of Burma

A set of about 776 maps of Burma produced by the Survey of India before and during the Second World War at a scale of 1 inch per mile (63,360).  Many of these maps are military reprints of earlier maps produced before the war.

The file naming convention is to first give the number of the 4 degree x 4 degree block followed by the letter (A to P) of the sixteen 1 degree x 1 degree blocks in each 4 degree block eg. 38 D, and this is followed by a "]" symbol to indicate a slash and then a number from 01 to 16 to indicate the number of the map in the 1 degree block.  This Number Letter Number designation is followed by the name of one of the administrative districts encompassed by the map, followed by the date of publication in parenthesis.

A Topographical Index produced by the Survey of India is provided to assist the viewer in selecting a particular map of interest.
