Pada tahun 1893, terdapat laporan pencerobohan kawanan gajah di kampung-kampung di sekitarnya, mungkin disebabkan oleh penerokaan tersebut. Sekitar waktu itu, seorang pegawai kolonial British, Nicholas Belfield (N.B.) Dennys menulis kamus "A Descriptive Dictionary of British Malaya" dan memasukkan banjaran bukit ini ke dalam karyanya itu. Pada tahun 1896, beberapa perancangan dibuat oleh pentadbir British untuk membina jalan menghubungkan kawasan Bukit Panjang dengan kawasan Jeram di sebelah barat, serta Bukit Raja di sebelah selatannya. Pada waktu itu, Bukit Panjang diduduki oleh majoriti masyarakat Banjar, yang mengusahakan tanaman padi bukit dan kopi. Setelah melihat kejayaan penanaman monokultur kopi di situ oleh pengusaha Cina, pihak British mencadangkan agar tanaman padi dipindahkan ke kawasan lembahnya. Menjelang Jun 1897, 1,000 ekar hutan paya di sekitar Bukit Panjang telah ditebang untuk penanaman padi sawah. Bagi menyokong kegiatan majoriti Banjar di situ, sebuah sekolah khas untuk kaum Banjar didirikan di situ pada tahun 1900. {{:peta:peta-jeram-bukitcherakah-1965.png?900|Peta sekitar Jeram - Bukit Cherakah, 1965}} \\ Peta sekitar Jeram - Bukit Cherakah (1965), untuk tujuan ilustrasi penerokaan pedalaman Jeram (Paya Jeram) dan Bukit Panjang (Surveyor General, Federation of Malaya, 1965 @ Australian National University: {{ :laman:malaysia_selangor_jeram_standard_mapping_series_sheet_93b_1965_1_25_000.pdf ||}}[[http://hdl.handle.net/1885/155042|"Malaysia, Selangor, Jeram, Standard Mapping Series, Sheet 93b, 1965, 1:25 000"]]). **MAKLUMAT LANJUT: [[bukit_panjang|Bukit Panjang]]**. ===== 1894: Lawatan Residen: Dari Rantau Panjang ke Jeram ===== {{:peta:peta-rantaupanjang-jeram-1904.png?900|Lakaran kasar perjalanan Rantau Panjang-Jeram (1894), berdasarkan peta tahun 1904}} \\ Lakaran kasar perjalanan rombongan Residen Selangor dari Rantau Panjang ke Jeram, berdasarkan peta tahun 1904.

There are about 15 miles of cart-road frontage to the estate at present. Padang Jawa railway station is just one mile distant, and Sungei Rangam and Batu Tiga railway stations are both within a mile of the property, which is drained by the Sungei Rengam, the Sungei Rasa, and the Damansara rivers, all of which flow into the Klang river. The land is hilly, with swamps in between, but extensive drains and canals connecting with the various streams are in course of construction. Contour drains are being cut in hills about a chain apart to prevent denudation of the soil. This work is receiving special attention. THe soil of this estate is as good as any in the district. It is reddish, loamy, and very rich. \\ \\ The estate employs at present about 600 Tamil coolies, some 400 Banjorese, Javanese, and Malays, besides labourers recruited from the surrounding villages, and a larger force of Tamil coolies which is being rapidly recruited in India. There are 26 sets of permanent coolie lines build in different parts of the estate, also a manager's bungalow, two assistants' bungalows, two bungalows for conductors, and one used as a dispensary. FUrther buildings are in course of erection. A few of the coolie lines have been made mosquito proof, the Government having given a grant for experimental purposes. In short, everything is being done to promote a good state of health amongst the employees. At first the estate was naturally somewhat unhealthy, but now it compares very favourably with most properties in the district. \\ \\ Mr. John Whitham, the manager of Ayer Kuning estate, was born in county Cork, Ireland, in December, 1877, and was educated at Totteridge Park School, Herfordshire, and at the Bedford Modern School. He went to Ceylon in 1896, and was initiated into the work of planting on the Hindugalla estate, Peradeniya. In Ceylon, where he remained for some ten and a half years, he gained experience in tea, coffee, and rubber planting, and when in July, 1906, he came to the Federated Malay States, he took charge of the Ayer Kuning estate under Mr. R.W. Harrison. He is a son of Mr. W. Charles Whitham, proprietary planter in Ceylon, and is a member of all local clubs in the Federated Malay States."// {{:gambar:ayerkuning-estate-1908-01.png?450|}}{{:gambar:ayerkuning-estate-1908-02.png?450|}}{{:gambar:ayerkuning-estate-1908-03.png?450|}}{{:gambar:ayerkuning-estate-1908-04.png?450|}} \\ //"Ayer Kuning Estate, Padang, Selangor.

A native of Holborn in the heart of London, Edward was apprenticed to a printer and stationer at the age of 14. After his first master died, he worked with several others, including Trelawny W. Saunders of Charing Cross. Saunders oversaw young Edward’s early career, ensuring that he became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Associations with the Society eventually brought Sanders much business and gave him a reputation as a publisher of explorers. As testament to this reputation, the Stanford Range in British Columbia was named for him by John Palliser. \\ \\ Stanford briefly partnered with Saunders in 1852 before striking out on his own in 1853. He was an agent for the Ordnance Survey, the Admiralty, the Geological Survey, the Trigonometrical Survey of India, and the India Office. He also controlled the maps of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, another lucrative source of income. In 1857, Stanford founded his namesake Geographical Establishment, with Saunders and A. K. Johnston as engravers. Thereafter, Stanford was known for his “library maps”, particularly those of Africa and Asia. \\ ..... \\ Stanford's work with Chief Cartographer John Bolton, including the 1858 Library Map of Europe, positioned the company as a leader in quality cartography during a time of exploration and colonialism. Their 1862 Library Map of London earned acclaim from the Royal Geographical Society. With the business thriving, Stanford purchased Staunton & Son in 1877 and, upon retiring in 1885, handed over the reins to his son, Edward Stanford II. \\ \\ As sole agents for Ordnance Survey Maps, the company's influence and reputation grew, culminating in the Stanford’s London Atlas Of Universal Geography, which was presented to Queen Victoria in 1887. The transition into the 20th century saw further integration of retail, print, and cartographic operations at Long Acre. \\ \\ During World War I, Stanford's became an essential publisher for the War Office. Edward Fraser Stanford took over in 1917, steering the company through the interwar period and innovations, such as the world’s smallest maps in 1922 and the Daily Mail Motor Road Map in 1926.//" (Sumber: Barry Lawrence Ruderman @ Antique Maps Inc.: {{ :laman:antique_maps_by_stanford_s_geographical_establishment_-_barry_lawrence_ruderman_antique_maps_inc_.pdf ||}}[[https://www.raremaps.com/mapmaker/8039/Stanford_s_Geographical_Establishment|"ANTIQUE MAPS BY STANFORD'S GEOGRAPHICAL ESTABLISHMENT"]]). ===== 1912: Naik Taraf Jalan Bukit Panjang ===== //"Executive Engineer's Office, Kuala Selangor, 5th February, 1912.
