• Comment Interesting, but it is a pity that the southern part seems cropped. --Elekhh (talk) 10:02, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

• Seems to have been in the original digitization. I don't know if there are websites that host the original versions of these kinds of maps. Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:58, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
