Intriguing discussion Ammini and Groomlake!

Thanks, Shyama! all because of Ammini!

If you're interested, here's an excellent map. The beauty of this map, I feel, is in its depiction of small villages, which I'm quite sure you'd not find in any commercial map. The other beauty is that it's dated 1959, and the sheer nostalgia! My mom and dad, especially, find this map interesting. For e.g. Ammini, if I say this map shows not only Chittur, but a place 'Paalayangad' as well, how would you react?

The map ranges along the Malabar coast from Edappaly/Parur in the south-west, to north-west of Ponnaani, and to Coimbatore town in the North east to the Devikulam road in the dense Malayattur state forest of the erstwhile Cochin-Travancore state. As a bonus, Ammini, you can clearly see that Chittur was a separate 'piece' of Cochin, entirely within Madras state, clearly demarkated by a border(that runs between Chittur and Paalayangad.

I do hope, for the sake of surprise, that this map has not been viewed elsewhere before!
