You will not find detailed maps of Tibet. The first one I drew, the others are US Air Navigational Maps (1:1000'000) which Cornelius and I "doctored" over many months to show all necessary details for our trip. They are unique and cannot be found anywhere.
Note: all places have several names, Tibetan, Tibetan translated into Chinese Pinyin, Chinese, and occasionally European. The "roads" are best guesses, the elevations in feet and meters, mostly from Sven Hedin's expedition maps, are accurate.
