Free India 250K Topographic Maps

India 250K Topographic Maps - University of Texas Library Online

For current updated topographical map of India, source is Survey of India, but all maps 50kms along the International Border are restricted, couple of the maps within the country are also restricted.

Some situation these maps restriction hamper the progress of our work, alternate I found this set of maps quite useful and accurate, these maps are by US Army published in 1930s, hence infrastructure wise its not upto-date, but in terms of cultural features like village, streams, rivers and contour info, we still can use them.

And its free and copyright free, you just have to acknowledge the source of this maps, when you use it in your project.

Map Projection are UTM(WGS84)

Thanks UT for providing this data......
