Description
A very uncommon 1933 map of Seremban, Malaysia, issued by Printers Ltd. of Singapore. This map is centered on the government office and Cenotaph at Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Sembilan and extends from Jalan Lobak to Jalan Ampangan. This map is based upon surveys completed by the Surveyor General of the Federated Malay States and the Straits Settlements.
Seremban is a large town about 60km south of Kuala Lumpur. It rose to prominence in the 1870s with the discovery of tin ore depositions in the region. The town flourished and a regional political and business center with the Linggi River being the sole artery of the ferrying of tin ore out of the region. Today Seremban is the capital of Negeri Sembilan.
This map was issued in Singapore by Printers Limited to accompany the Singapore and Malayan Directory of 1933.
