The Tibetan Plateau blog is pleased to make the most detailed Tibetan language map of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) we have seen so far available for download.
Although this is a relatively old map, published in 1981 by the TAR Bureau of Cartography, it is the best we have seen in terms of detail, showing settlements down to the level of villages below the township level. The map also shows roads, railway lines, hydro-dams and environmental features such as glaciers, desert, lakes and springs. Here are examples of the amazing level of detail in the map. The scale of the map is 1: 1000000.
A warning before you download the map: this is a huge (25 MB) JPEG file. If your computer has sufficient storage space and other resources, you can download the map here.
We hope that this map will be useful for students, researchers and others who are interested in Tibet.
With thanks to all the readers for their interest and support.

This is in fact a very detailed map and will be useful for my research. Thank you for sharing and making it accessible to everyone.
P.S. I think you meant 25 MB and not 25 GB
Hello, pleased to hear that you will use the map. Yes, I meant to write MB. Will make the changes after this. Thanks and best wishes for your research.
This map is edited by Chinese government. so the TAR is smaller than what we need. Other thing there are many mistakes of the names of place.
Even you want to post a real Tibetan map please concern about everything.........
Thank you very much for your comments.
