They are very thorough and still reliable. Current Survey of Pakistan maps can be difficult to locate outside of Pakistan, though there is a Map Sales Office in Rawalpindi (the headquarters). Also, because the area is militarily sensitive, newer maps might be wholly unavailable. When in the NWFP, I acquired excellent district maps attached to reprints of the remarkable District Gazetteer series. Reproduction was not the best, but serviceable. The Gazetteers themselves are superb resources for information and they were revised in the 1960's. Many libraries have the series, plus they can usually be purchased in bookshops in Lahore, Rawalpindi/Islamabad, and Peshawar itself. If you have access to WorldCat you can perhaps locate the district maps by district title, and lists of libraries with the item are given. Russell Guy of Omnimap has good connexions on esoteric maps available for purchase at http://www.omnimap.com The 1:1 million scale International Map of the World has good coverage of northern Pakistan, and is widely available in many libraries. I can supply information on the Survey of India maps scale, address of Survey of Pakistan, etc. if you wish. Good Luck! Brian P.

Jeg har ikke studert dem nok til aa vite om de dekker Kohistan, Mansehra og Swat provinsene, men de ser ut til aa dekke hele Pakistan. Dette kartsettet er sikkert vanlig i amerikanske biblioteker som horer til Federal Depository Library Program. Jeg vet ikke om de er tilgjeng- lige i Europa. De nyere kartene vaare er i storre maalestokk. God jul fra Vermont!

However, as South ASia was a part of the British Empire, the archives are the best place to look for these maps, and then photocopy/phtograph them. Sugandha
