Jean Hanus:
I see that you are returned (obviously . . .). If it helps (as this
Society's Map Room is closer to you than all US map collections -
excepting the American Museum in Bath!) we can offer you - as we did a
couple of years ago - Xeroxes of 'IMW' series 1301 (etc.) sheets.
Of sheet NJ 48 'Lan-chou' we hold Edition 1-AMS in two printings: 9-61
(US Army Map Service), and 2500/12/66 (SPC, RE [British War
Office/MoD]). If you wish to have a more exciting life we also hold,
par exemple, [N]J-48 'Lan'chzhou' produced by the Soviet General Staff,
compiled 1985, izdaniye 1986g., VIII-[19]86 printing.
If you'd care to list your other desiderata I can inform you of our
holdings of those other sheets. Remember (for when it is legal) we have
an A0 b-&-w Xerox copier.
Sincerely
(M.) Francis Herbert (Curator of Maps)

The last 5 summers I travelled in Gansu,Qinghai and Tibet,trying to
follow travellers of the 19th and early 20th centuries.The main
difficulty is to find what is to-day's name of all the names encountered
in the diaries of the travellers.
I found the maps compiled by the (US) Army Map Service of the 1:1 000
000 International Map of the World,Series 1301 very useful. I found a
poor copy of Sheet NJ 47,it is very exciting as you find a mixture of
Chinese,Mongol and Tibetan names,the area covered is the same as TPC
G8B,very poor in surface information.Both are very complementary.
I am searching for other sheets of the same series,in particular NJ 48,
and more generaly sheets covering Gansu,Qinghai and Tibet.
If somebody has access to these maps and can make multi A3 photocopy, I
would be grateful and for sure pay for the copies and mailing...
Gratefully yours, Jean Hanus
