Copy of a map, referred to in an accompanying a letter written by Colonel Arthur Henry McMahon, British Commissioner, Seistan [Sīstān] Arbitration Commission, dated 5 November 1904 (ff 236-241). The letter refers to the boundary between Persia [Iran] and Baluchistan [in present-day Pakistan] around Mirjawa [Mīrjāveh], as established in an agreement of 1896.
The map indicates: hydrology; topography, with some indication of relief; trigonometrical stations, with heights indicated in feet; settlements; trade routes. The frontier lines discussed in McMahon’s letter are marked in blue and red pencil.
The original map was published under the direction of Major Francis Becon Longe, Officiating Surveyor General of India, in May 1902.
