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.
