For many ancient empires or medieval kingdoms, it is very hard to find accurate maps of subdivisions, provinces, vassal states, and maps of more obscure military campaigns.
Have you found a map of the obscure junds of the Abbasid Caliphate? Of the feudal domains of Anglo-Saxon England before the Norman Conquest? Or are you requesting a specific topic, unable to find a map to visualize it? This thread is for exactly those kinds of maps.
Note: Historical/OTL maps only. They do not need to be editable. I didn't place this in Alternate History Maps and Graphics because this thread is focused on the historical context more so than the map itself.

Here are some maps that I found useful.
Provinces/Satrapies of the Achaemenid Empire during the rule of Darius I, including the more obscure peripheries. I believe some of the satrapies are conjectural and assumed based on the Hellenistic era divisions, but nonetheless, this gives a pretty good idea of the various regions of the Persian Empire.

Vassal earldoms of the King of England in 1065, courtesy of the University of South Florida. The map really makes it clear that Harold Godwinson and his brothers controlled the vast majority of southern England, as well as why the earls Edwin and Morcar were such a thorn in the side of Harold and, later, William.
Junds (Military Provinces) of the Abbasid Caliphate in the Levant during the 9th century. Does anyone know of a larger map that includes all of the provincial divisions throughout the Abbasid empire?
