[ Myanmar ] A Map of the Burman Dominions, and Adjacent Countries, Compiled by John Walker, to accompany Mr. Crawfurd's Embassy to the Court of Ava.

This 1829 map by John Walker represents the earliest known comprehensive cartographic depiction of Burma, currently Myanmar. Designed to accompany Crawfurd's diplomatic mission to negotiate with King Bagyidaw post the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824-1826), it focuses on the Irrawaddy Valley. This map outlines the journey from the Burmese royal capital of Ava to Calcutta, delineating major cities like Mandalay and Yangon, yet reveals extensive blank areas, reflecting the limited European knowledge of the region at that time.
