Tibetan Language Maps of Three Rivers Headwaters region

Saturday, February 14, 2009


A kind supporter of Tibetan Plateau donated some photos of Tibetan maps showing Yushu, Nangchen, Drito, Zato, Chumarleb and other areas of SNNR. The maps were published by Tibet Information Network, a reproduction of "བོད་རང་སྐྱོངས་སྲིད་འཛིན་ས་ཁུལ་གྱི་ས་བཀྲ་", a set of nine maps made by the Chinese authorities in 1981. Since Tibetan language maps are quite rare, I hope these will be of interest to many people, especially Tibetan readers.

it's amazing to know that we have such detailed maps in our language (although i am a novice when it comes to map reading and rivers). Who prepared all these maps?

The maps were published by Tibet Information Network, reproduced on the basis of "Bod rang skyongs srid 'dzin sa khul gyi sa bkra", a set of nine maps made by the Chinese authorities in 1981.

It would be really helpful to read these maps if they have a title or a caption. This is a fabulous set of work, I tell you. Thanks for sharing.
