Map of Eastern Turkestan by George Hayward.
From the original edition of the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society.
Mapmaker:
George Jonas Whitaker Hayward (1839–1870) was a well known nineteenth-century English explorer. In 1868 he approached Sir Henry Rawlinson, vice president of the Royal Geographical Society. He wanted to be hired as an explorer in central Asia and the western Himalayas. Surprisingly Hayward was provided with £300, surveying equipment, map making instruments and instructions to attempt to reach and survey the then unmapped Pamir Mountains. He was to become the only explorer funded by the Royal Geographical Society during “The Great Game.”
