Provisional map display
The links below demonstrate provisional displays being developed for maps that would be included in this project. The links display a map from the North West Frontier Province series, No. 38N 8, that shows Jamrud and the route through the famed Khyber pass. The map includes parts of three different territories – Peshawar district, Khyber agency, and Mohmand country. The map has been georeferenced and draped over two possible Internet map sources, Google Maps and OpenLayers.
