    I would recommend the work of Erwin Raisz. He did a number of atlases and other works way back when and his style shows the landforms very well.. I've attached a photo of part of one of the China pages from his 1944 "Atlas of Global Geography" (used without permission, poor quality photo, etc...) I managed to turn up one on eBay a while back and it's an interesting read. A lot has changed in the last 67 years, that's for sure (note that Nanking is shown as "capital of occupied China" on this map section).

    I'll attach a bonus figure from the same book for our general audience here at the guild:
