Try [Survey of India Maps](https://indiamaps.gov.in/soiapp/). [Download maps of India provided by Survey of India](https://www.india.gov.in/download-maps-india-provided-survey-india). It may have an archive of older maps.

The Imperial Gazetteer of India had some maps from around 1907, but I think the ones I could find on line are too small for your purposes https://dsal.uchicago.edu/maps/gazetteer/index.html

# Old topographic maps of Odisha, India

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-09-24)

For my research related to coastal Odisha, India I am mapping the coastal boundary. I have downloaded available Landsat images which date back to 1972. But I want to map the same for before 1972.

I am interested in old topographic maps showing the coastal boundary of Odisha, preferably before 1970.

**Does anyone know from where can I get the scanned map of the same?**
