The map indicates: the course and nature of the river; soundings, measured in fathoms; the height of banks, shoals; channel hazards; plains; notable landmarks; roads; and river tributaries. A note below the map title states that the bearings were taken by prismatic compass from the deck of the river steamer
Shushtan, at a time of year when the river was at its lowest annual point. The note gives further information on the methods used to record river measurements and bearings.Other labels on the map: at the top, ‘No. 2’; at the bottom: ‘Exd C.J.A.’Physical description: Dimensions: 354 x 217 mm, on sheet 419 x 275 mm.Materials: Printed on paper.
