'Sketch of the Road to Kayahkor 1st March, 1867': map of the area (now in Eritrea) between 38°50'E and 39°40'E and between 15°30'N and 16°N, showing mountains and highlands (with heights in metres, estimated by observing boiling points), rivers and water sources, terrain, cultivated lands, and roads, including Acting Consul William Munziger's route from Massawa to Kayahkor ( Kiaguor, Kajah Kor), south of Asmara. [Drawn] by Munziger; lithographed by Harrison [and Sons], Saint Martin's Lane. MS additions, coloured, highlighting some place names.
