SERINDIA MAPS - STEIN

These are photos made from the original maps in Volume V of Serindia, Aurel Stein's report on his Second Expedition into Chinese Turkestan.

The northern half of map sheet # 59 Turfan - directly south of Ortang-Aghzi. Stein spent quite a bit of time exploring this area, as one can see from the red notations of ruins, despite the Germans haveing already worked extensively here. Kara-Khoja, in the central oasis , in particular, revealed a large quantity of relics. Turfan oasis (Yangi-shahr) is at the western side. The road west leads to Toksun, the road east to Hami.
