English: Ideal maps contents here will show:
1a) current larger subnational entity boundaries
1b) and current international boundaries,
2) with sufficient room to annotate current nation-states names,
3) as well as positioning the historic region centered on the map.
4) The borders of the subject former territory should be clear and distinct.
4) Maps showing major water bodies and water-boundaries, especially rivers and other relief features are highly encouraged. Riverine paths tell much of the lay of the land, ridges, and lower elevations even when no other relief feature is present.
