A Survey of India map of the general area is here <http://westkameng.nic.in/Maps/THIRIZINO.jpg>; it's also visible at a smaller scale on the eastern and western edges (respectively) of AMS/JOG sheets NG 46-2 <http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/india/ng-46-02.jpg> and NG 46-3 <http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/india/txu-oclc-6614190-ng46-3.jpg>. Allegedly, the river lies somewhere between the confluence of the Bichom and Bhareli Rivers to the west, and the town of Seppa to the east. Anybody have larger scale maps that might help (e.g., Soviet topos, Ordnance Survey)? My copy of World Mapping Today says there's a Survey of India 1:50K series, but that it doesn't cover NE India. FWIW, this is territory disputed between India and China, so I have no idea whose word "Hunchjo" is (assuming it's correct). Hunchjo does not Google well (117 hits) and I found nothing geographically or "toponymically" close in GEOnet. (Those AMS maps depict a lot of river-like features called "nadi," which my old BGN gazetteer says is Bengali for stream.) Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks very much. mf -- Michael Fry Senior Map Librarian National Geographic Society 1145 17th St. N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 202.857.7098 [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>
