A triangulation map of part of Upper Burma (Myanmar), showing dozens of locations joined with straight lines to create a triangulation network.

On this map of India, Burma (Myanmar) is divided into two regions: ‘British Burma’—under British colonial rule after the Second Anglo-Burmese War (1852)—and Upper Burma (labelled ‘Burma’), under British rule after the Third Anglo-Burmese War (1885).

British Burma is coloured pink on this six-sheet map of India. Mountains are represented by hachures—short lines/dashes that give a sense of the shape and steepness of terrain—and settlements, railways, roads, rivers and lighthouses are marked.

Map of Upper Burma divided into Divisions and Districts, and featuring the Irrawaddy and Chindwin rivers, the Burma State Railway, and settlements including the city of Mandalay.
