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 southern part of map sheet# 69 Kara-dobe - In the center of the tier of map sheets at the extreme north of Stein's surveying during the second expedition. But he did much more during the third expeditions. This shows the route NW - SE from Turfan to Hami. Kara-dobe is an interesting narrow cultivated valley south of the road in which Stein found springs and ruins of temples, and ruins at Kichik Taghucha and Tazgan-chik nearer to the road..
