Board of Conservancy Works of Kwangtung

The Board of Conservancy was created to address the problems caused by the severe flooding of the Canton Delta in 1914 and 1915.

The Board was initially directed by Captain Olivecrona, Engineer in Chief, which included improvements of the West River and the Port of Canton.

The map is very rare; we have found two copies on OCLC (Paris-CECMC and UC Berkeley) and one example online (Toyo Bunko Library, Tokyo).
