At three inches to one mile (1:21,120), the map combines dense contours and spot heights with Ootacamund, the mountain railway, roads, rivers, estates, reserved forests, sholas and cultivation. The Ootacamund Hunt adapted British foxhunting conventions to mounted jackal hunting; its specialist map identifies hunt meets, crossings and rides, together with the limits of plantations, sholas and coverts—practical information rarely found on conventional topographical sheets. Forest and jungle are printed in green, cultivation in yellow and water in blue. Heliozincographed in Calcutta and published under Colonel T. F. B. Renny-Tailyour, the sheet is dissected and mounted on linen for field use, folding into its original printed card case. The cover is inscribed “From Lady Pentland. Sept. 1966”: an evocative but unverified Pentland-family association, the 1st Baron Pentland having governed Madras when the map was published. A scarce and unusually evocative record of colonial sporting and estate geography around Ooty.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53723298333019,"sku":"P-6-112071","price":640.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112071a.jpg?v=1785944819","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/ootacamund-hunt-map-ooty-nilgiri-hills-estates-reserves-survey-of-india-1913-p-6-112071","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
