Description
This is an 1886 Henry Sharbau and H. A. Milne map of Burma (Myanmar) and Thailand. The map focuses on northern Thailand (Siam) and the railroad proposed by civil engineer Holt S. Hallett (1841 - 1911) and his associate Archibald Colquhoun (pronounced kuhl-HOON.) It was created to accompany a paper Hallett presented to the Royal Geographical Society. Red lines trace Hallett s explorations, scouting and surveying the best railroad route. A dashed black and white line illustrated the proposed railway, running south from Kiang Hsen to the map s lower border. An inset along the right illustrates the route s continuation to Bangkok.
