The first rail and tramway maps of Java and Madura were published in 1898, on a scale of 1:1,000,000. In following years (1900, 1906, 1909, 1925 - the last on a reduced sheet) new, altered and updated editions were published. All are quite detailed, and include, e.g., towns, rivers, and provinces. In this 1909 edition, three smaller, more detailed maps (scale 1: 25,000) show the railway and tramway nets of the three largest towns on Java, Batavia (Jakarta), Semarang, and Soerabaja (Surabaja). Included are tracks in various stages of development (proposed, accepted, under construction, active). Outer margins very slightly frayed, and very lightly soiled, with a few tiny chips and tears, but generally very clean. a very good complete copy. Rare.
