Description: | Photograph from the Curzon Collection taken by Watts and Skeen in the 1890s in Burma (Myanmar). View of the confluence of the Melika [now Malikha] and Hmika [Mehka] rivers in Kachin State, Burma’s most northerly state. The confluence at Myit-son 27 km north of Myitkyina marks the beginning of Burma’s great river, the Irrawaddy [Ayeyarwady], which flows south for 2000 km to a vast delta region along the Gulf of Martaban. The two rivers are its western and eastern tributaries and are in turn fed by a number of streams rising in the mountain ranges of northern Burma. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Watts and Skeen | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
