Features: The "Beijing Suburban Map" has a scale of 1:50,000 and was published in the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947). It was drawn by the Engineering Bureau of the Beijing Municipal Government and printed and distributed by Lisheng Bookstore. This map is a comprehensive map of Beijing published just before the founding of the People's Republic of China, clearly showing the territorial scope of Beijing at that time, extending north to Hulongguan, south to Xihongmen, east to Huayuanzhá, and west to Sanjiadian. It is a political map compiled based on topographic maps, reflecting the condition of Beijing in the late 1940s and the planning traces along Chang'an Avenue. For easier reading, the map was enlarged by 0.88 times, but to preserve its original appearance, the scale was not altered.
