India Road Wall Map 1928

India — Road Wall Map (1928)

A richly detailed portrait of the subcontinent in the interwar years. This 1928 road map of India captures a nation on the move: international, provincial/state and district boundaries, a developing road hierarchy, rail and other transport corridors, water features (rivers, canals, lakes), and settlements set out with crisp, legible cartography. Relief is shown by shaded terrain and spot heights, rewarding both room-distance viewing and close study.

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a reference to how India travelled, traded, administered and grew in the late 1920s. Every line and label records networks and jurisdictions at a pivotal moment between the wars. Ideal for educators, historians, designers, planners and collectors, it stands alone beautifully and pairs well with modern maps for compelling then-and-now comparisons.

Hang it in libraries, studios, classrooms, museums, offices or at home to invite reflection, study and conversation.
