I have a request (below) seeking older maps of the city of Dhaka (Dacca), Bangladesh. Our collection has hardly anything of this city, and I don't know if any existing map will help, as the city is centuries old.  Any ideas, folks?

The query:
"I am currently a graduate student in the City and Metropolitan Planning program. I have an assignment to do research on a city (Dhaka, Bangladesh) and I have to create 3 maps for it.  One is at it's earliest form of civilization, the next when an event has happened to shift it's growth and then finally a map of as it is currently.  My question to you is I am needing assistance or direction on where I may find a map of that city in it's earliest form?
"If you may be able to help me with this that would be most appreciated.  If you have further questions about this please let me know. "
