    If we compare 1838 Map of Karachi Popoluation and 1838 Kurrachee Harbour Map. I guess Kurrachee is the most Autnetic name of the city in tose years.

    Is the 1838 population Map genuine?

      Hello Nasir Sahib,
      Wondering if you still have the collection of Karachi Map that you noted. I am most interested in receiving it by email Thank you. sajidaziz@rogers.com – Mississauga Ontario.

      I am also particularly interested in the maps of Intelligence School which later became Intelligence Colony on Queens Road. Not far from where the new US Consulate is,
      thank you for considering it
      Sajid

      Mr. Ahmed,

      I would deeply appreciate a digital copy of this map. My mother did a fair bit of her growing up in Karachi, where her father was editor of The Daily Gazette. In trying to locate her childhood home, a map of the time would help her memory.
      Thank you for your offer, even if you are not able to fulfil my request.

      With warm regards from across the border…

  8. Karachi served as the capital of Pakistan until 1960, when it was replaced by Islamabad. The Pakistani government believed the relocation of the capital would help spur development in the northern parts of the country. The map detail below, from a 1959 Army Map Service depiction, scaled at 1:250,000, shows the Karachi region in its final year as the national capital. Since this time, Karachi s population has boomed from about 2 million people in 1961 (in Karachi proper) to almost 15 million people today.
