Shows roads, railways, cities, towns, and villages, as well as places of archeological interest. An inset map in the upper center margin is titled "Pakistan and Surrounding Countries", showing the entire Asian continent with Pakistan and East Bengal in green. The map is in good condition, with tape residue and pin holes to corners, some staining in the Bay of Bengal, and overall creasing and wear. Misfolded. (Inventory #: 324445)
