Map of British Punjab 1909

Punjab was a province of British India. It was split in 1947 between India and Pakistan. It comprised the present day areas of:

Punjab Province, Pakistan
Punjab State, India
Haryana State, India
Himachal Pradesh State, India
Delhi State, India
Chandigarh, former part of Punjab
Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan

The eleventh edition of the EncyclopÃ¦dia Britannica (1911) outlines the boundaries of the province.

â€œ

Punjab, a province of British India, so named from the "five rivers" by which it is watered: the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, all tributaries of the Indus. Geographically the Punjab is the triangular tract of country of which the Indus and the Sutlej to their confluence form the two sides, the base being the lower Himalaya hills between those two rivers; but the British province now includes a large tract outside those boundaries. Along the northern border Himalayan ranges divide it from Kashmir and Tibet. On the west it is separated from the North-West Frontier Province by the Indus, until that river reaches the borde

of Dera Ghazi Khan district, which is divided from Baluchistan by the Suliman range. To the south lie Sind and Rajputana, while on the east the rivers Jumna and Tons separate it from the United Provinces.EncyclopÃ¦dia Britannica article on Punjab
