A previous Tibetan Plateau blog post shared a downloadable link to the most detailed map of Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) we have seen. The map was published by the TAR Bureau of Cartography in 1981.
We have more good news: there is an exhaustive index for the 1981 TAR map available online here. This 500+ page index is compiled by Gregor Verhufen in 1995.
The 1981 TAR map and the 1995 index to the map, together, undoubtedly constitute one of the richest and most helpful sources of information on (close to 9000!) Tibetan names of places, rivers, mountains, glaciers and lakes.
The map and the index, however, does not have names of Tibetan places outside TAR. Those interested in information on Tibetan places outside TAR are advised to refer to Steven Marshall and Susette Cooke's report, TIBET: Outside the TAR, which, hopefully, is still available for sale through the International Campaign for Tibet. Parts of the Marshall and Cooke's report are available here.
Readers are requested to share these resources with researchers and other people interested in Tibet.
