In ‘A Rough Trip to Rangoon in 1846’ Colesworthy Grant recorded his expedition to Rangoon in 1846. In that year, Rangoon was a cluster-pagoda city and small trading city for expatriate communities including the English, Mundrazee, Chinese, Armenians, Jews, Americans, and Moguls.
This map tracks the cityscape in old town Rangoon between 1836 and 1849 produced from a resident’s memory and Grant’s journey. The notes and sketches that are considered of historical interest describe the relationship between one site to the others, especially the monumental ones.
