The state of knowledge of the map corresponds to historical Wikipedia articles on the cities/rich/cultures depicted, as well as other map research. Documentation of the sources used here. Please report questions/inaccuracies (German/English) to me or in the talk of the basic card.

The map is intended to convey the approximate spheres of influence of cultures/riches of the turn of the century depicted. Exact limits are rarely handed down, so inaccuracies are possible.
The map shows a selection of important settlements around the turn of the century, labeled with names of (Latin transcribed) historical designation if possible. Some names that are hardly common today are supplemented by [today's name].
Rivers show the current course; however, modern reservoirs have been removed from view.
