The map was created by Erwin Hermann Manfred Schneider in 1957.

Mount Everest, also known as Chomolungma in Tibetan and Sagarmatha in Nepali, is the highest peak in the world and has a long history of mountaineering expeditions and achievements. Various expeditions and notable climbers have attempted to summit Everest since the early 20th century.

Erwin Hermann Manfred Schneider was an Austrian cartographer and mountaineer. He was born in Jáchymov, a Bohemian mining town on the German-Czech border, on April 13, 1906. He studied mining at the Technical University of Charlottenburg in Berlin, Germany, from 1924 to 1935.

Schneider began climbing mountains in the 1920s and quickly became one of the leading mountaineers in Austria. He made first ascents of several peaks in the Alps, including the Jongsong Peak (7,462 m) in Nepal in 1930. He also participated in several major Himalayan expeditions, including the 1955 Dyrhenfurth Himalaya Expedition, which produced the first and most important modern survey of the Nepalese approaches to Mount Everest.

Schneider was a skilled cartographer and his maps of the Himalayas are still considered to be some of the most accurate and detailed ever made. He was also a talented writer and photographer and his books and articles about mountaineering are still enjoyed by enthusiasts today.
