Sarakhs Trip Booklet of Mirza Nassrullah Khan Mohandess

This piece of writing is a report of Mirza Nassrullah Khan Mohandess’ trip to Sarakhs and Zourabad. The trip was planned to be taken by an order from Assef al-Dowleh in 1301 A.H. from Mashhad to Sarakhs passing through Aghdarband and Pol-e Khatoun. As narrated by him, “I watched and took notes of point by point of the route and the villages on the way, as well as situation of the residents of each neighborhood, and followed this geometric line.” Then he arrives at Nasseri Castle in Sarakhs. The outcome of his attempt is a correct map that was submitted to Nasser al-Din Shah. After finishing his trip to Sarakhs, Mirza Nassrullah Mohandess heads toward Kalat. The original handwritten “Sarakhs Trip Booklet” is being kept at Mr. Nasser al- Din Hassanzadeh’s collection.
