The "India Plains and Mount Everest" map by John Bartholomew (1959) is a beautifully crafted cartographic representation, combining Bartholomew's renowned precision with an emphasis on the geographical and cultural richness of the Indian subcontinent and the towering Himalayas. This map is a testament to mid-20th-century cartography and the legacy of Bartholomew’s publishing house, which was celebrated for its high-quality maps.

The map covers the Indo-Gangetic Plain, one of the most fertile and densely populated regions in the world, and extends northward to the Himalayan mountain range, including Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. Rivers such as the Ganges, Yamuna, and Brahmaputra are prominently featured, along with their extensive networks of tributaries. The Himalayas are rendered with precise topographical detail, emphasizing their dramatic elevation changes. Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak at 8,848 meters, is a focal point, reflecting its global significance, particularly after the first successful summit in 1953.

Bartholomew’s map employs shaded relief and color gradients to differentiate elevations and terrain types, creating a visually striking contrast between the flat plains and the rugged mountains. A clear legend and well-defined labels ensure usability, while decorative elements reflect the artistic tradition of Bartholomew’s cartographic works.

Published during a transformative period for India, the map captures the nation's geographic and infrastructural growth. It remains a valuable historical artifact, celebrated for its detailed portrayal of a region that is both geographically diverse and culturally rich.
