Another detail of section of map sheet # 14 - Kelpin - Kelpin is an oasis in a narrow valley with mountains on three sides and a dry river bed at the valley mouth. Stein found a ruined fort and other buildings in the valley. It is on the northern flank of the Taklamakan. Stein also found a ruined fort south of Kelpin at 78 degrees 59' E - 40 degrees 8' N, along his route south toward Maral-bashi (on the next map # 25)
