Note:
This map projects a huge project of mapping India on a large scale (4 miles to 1 inch) with 102 sheets. The project was never completed because Arrowsmith died in 1823. 16 sheets were finished (as stated in the title of this map) and they became Arrowsmith's last map, the Atlas of South India, issued in 1822.
Full Title:
Sketch of the Outline and principal Rivers of India by A. Arrowsmith Hydrographer to His Majesty 1822. Note: This map is intended to shew how many sheets of this size would be required for a Map of India on a scale of Four English Miles to one Inch, any one of which may be engraved independent of another when materials offer, and may be united to the rest by keeping correctly to the lines as drawn on this Map. The sheets as far as No. 16 are already engraved on the above scale.
