Federated Malay States Survey
Federated Malay States Survey (1922 - 1945), better known as the F.M.S. Survey Department, was established in the early 20th century to produce detailed surveys of British Malaya and the Straits Settlements. The survey department had offices in most major Malayan ports, including Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang (Georgetown), and Malacca. They were the first official survey organization to publish detailed scientifically produced maps of the region.

This scarce 1920 map of Malaya (modern-day Malaysia), issued by the Surveyor General of the Federated Malay States, captures the peninsula at a pivotal moment in its colonial and economic history - some 13 years after Britain assumed control of the northern Malay states from Siam and incorporated them as the Unfederated Malay States. Produced during the early years of the region's tin and rubber booms, this map reflects both British administrative ambition and the accelerating transformation of Malaya into one of the most productive territories in Southeast Asia.
