82. Maintenance of maps showing estates.
- The Deputy Collector in charge of khasmahals should provide himself with a map of the district on the scale of 1 inch = 1 mile, on which he will colour the villages held khas in light red and those held otherwise than khas in pale blue. When the entire village is not so held, only the proportion of the village area held will be so coloured.The thana maps (with lists of villages) prepared by the settlement department or the 1" maps published by the Survey of India (new standard sheets and 1" maps based on older surveys) should be utilised. If in the case of any district the 1" maps published by the Survey of India do not show village boundaries, the district maps on the scale 1" = 4 miles may be used, the village names being underlined in red or blue.Note. - Village boundaries are not shown in the 1" maps published by the Survey of India except on certain sheet relating to the districts of Shahabad, Saran, Champaran, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga and Purnea.
