----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Thanks for the confirmation. I owe a little more information. We are the archives of the pre-1947 British Department of State responsible for the administration of India. Not the National Archives of India, but the superintending authority in London. We ought to be the best source of information outside India on what the Survey of India did or did not publish, and we have been trying to improve our knowledge through contacts with British military survey archives. So far as we are aware, none of 39G/1-16 was published before the cessation of civil map publication in 1941. 39F/1-16, 39J/1-16, 39K/1-16, 39L/1,2,5,6 and 39H/13,14 all were published. Wartime military effort in India concentrated elsewhere, though I believe 39H/3 appeared as an isolated sheet. The predecessor series, the Punjab One-inch of the 1880s (dating from before NWFP) allocated quad numbers to DGK district, but did not complete the coverage to this area before the series was terminated c.1910. Survey of Pakistan printed 1:63.360/1:50,000 mapping of 39G/1-16 by 1983, but the whole area lies within the Pakistan 'Restricted - Maps not for publication' border belt. Hence the cautious negative of my previous posting. Thanks for asking: it's good to be made to check the coverage of these border areas.
