EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately detailed map, titled 'Map of India Shewing the Lines of Railways, Telegraphs, and Dawk Routes,' offers a glimpse into the extensive communication networks of India during the early 20th century. The map, specially engraved for the Indian Traveller's Guide, was collected by J.P. K. Murphy after his retirement in 1924. The map showcases the extensive railway lines crisscrossing India, connecting major cities and towns. The telegraph lines, another crucial means of communication during this era, are depicted as thin, winding lines, connecting various parts of the country. The dawk routes, a precursor to modern postal services, are indicated by dotted lines. Murphy, a veteran of the Indian Army, served with the 52nd Sikhs and 9th Hodson's Horse. His collection of papers, including this map, provides valuable insights into the transportation and communication infrastructure of India during the British colonial period. The map's meticulous detailing and clear labeling make it an essential tool for travelers and administrators alike, highlighting the importance of effective communication and transportation networks in facilitating movement and commerce within the vast subcontinent. This map offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of India's communication systems, providing a window into the past and shedding light on the significant strides made in connecting India's diverse regions during the early 20th century.
