This intricately detailed map, titled "Map Exhibiting the present partition of the Country dependent on Fort St. George into Military Divisions with several Stations of Troops," is a penetrating glimpse into the military organization of the British Raj in India during the mid-19th century. Drawn in pen, ink, and watercolor, the map was produced in September 1843 and offers a comprehensive representation of the military divisions and troop stations in and around Fort St. George, the historic British fort and administrative center in Madras Presidency, India. The map is significant for its meticulous documentation of the distribution of both the Crown and the East India Company's regiments, providing a valuable insight into the military power dynamics of the region at the time. Moreover, this map goes beyond the mere depiction of regimental locations, as it also marks the positions of companies of veterans, adding another layer of complexity to the military landscape. The map's title reflects its purpose as an aid for military planning and organization. The information it contains was compiled from the "General Distribution Return of the Coast Army" for the month of September 1843. This map is not only an essential resource for understanding the military organization of the British Raj during this period but also serves as a testament to the intricate administrative machinery that governed the region. The map's intricate details and accurate representation of military installations and troop locations underscore the importance of effective military planning and logistics in maintaining the British presence in India during the 19th century. This map is a valuable historical artifact that offers a unique perspective on the military landscape of colonial India and the British Raj's military organization.
