Hi all,

I have a patron looking for information about the use of TPCs as base maps
in cartography. Her question is below. Any suggestions on where to research
this would be much appreciated!


"I'm trying to find information on whether tactical pilotage charts might be
commonly used by commercial/tourist map makers as a base for their maps.  In
particular, I'm trying to trace the lineage of a feature (an extension of
the Kashmiri line of control that wasn't based on the relevant treaty text)
printed on a 1967 TPC that showed up in tourist/trekking maps in the late
1970s."
