Description:
The map provides a clear layout of central Kathmandu's primary road network, key rivers (Vishnumati, Bagamati, and Dhobi Khola), and major urban landmarks. It explicitly highlights U.S. diplomatic and aid infrastructure, including the former U.S. Embassy in Panipokhari (along Lazimpat), the Peace Corps office near Naxal, USIS (United States Information Service) near Juddha Sadak / New Road, USAID in Rabi Bhawan / Kalimati, and an adjacent Health Clinic, alongside local reference points like the Royal Palace, Swayambhu, Singha Durbar, and Thapathali.
