Historical map of the Lake Chad basin between the start of the reign of Mai (king) Idris Alauma of Bornu around 1570 and his death ca. 1600
I include his notes
""A little bit of background:
To my knowledge, this is by far the most detailed map that exists on this time and region. In the process, I extracted information from about 35 academic publications (I could send these if requested) and have been in contact with a few professors who specialize on this topic. I was able to include some of the locations of towns from a old map from Palmer, but apart from that, I entirely had to put the pieces together from the numerous sources.
With this map, I hope to contribute to a popularization of this fascinating era of Human history. Due to eurocentrism in historical science, this region is arguably under-researched (although great scholars like Augustin Holl work hard on changing that) and there is almost no popular awareness about this époque, although it is all but boring. There is almost no easily accessible literature for persons that aren't informed about the issue and even the Wikipedia pages on this part of history is an absolute mess.
And yeah, I'm proud like crazy about this work, the process of creating it was really intense and consumed a lot of time, but I'm quite happy with the result.""

Tecumseh's Confederacy at the start of the War of 1812
of course, borders in this time and place can be tricky, so if I screwed up big time, let me know
Interesting borders. What sources did you use to get that?

United States Serial Set Number 4015 contains the second part of the two-part Eighteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1896-1897. (Part one is printed in United States Serial Set Number 4014.) Part two, which was also printed...

So through painstaking effort I managed to do Ottoman Empire subdivisions including vilayets, sanjaks, and kaza boundaries. from 1913 - 1914, although these same subdivisions should work for as far back as 1899, I would just need to add the territories still held then. My source was this excellent map. The vilayet boundaries were borrowed from an earlier map and I noticed some inaccuracies which need fixing. I may go back and do that later, but for now be content with this.
Been making a rendition of 1914 replete with subdivisions for Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania (with the two contemporary autonomous Epirote provinces) that I don’t believe have ever been done before. Although frankly my Bulgaria ones are awful and need serious revisions. The others should be fairly solid though! If they’ve been done before and better then I just wasted time doing them on my own out of ignorance. Anyways, I’m hoping to do a map of every year of the war, but I’m also infamous for never finishing maps so let’s see how 1914 goes first.

They look pretty good, the way you did it in the second is really aesthetic as well. The only things I notice that seem off are that Chios and Samos were Greek by 1914 and the Ottomans owned a little bit more in Thrace just west of Edirne that they ceded in 1915.
Yeah, check out the @Bob Hope QBAM thread pinned on the Maps and Graphics forum - they created a bathymetry layer!
Impressive effort, @Viralworld , but the Mt Lebanon Mutassarifate never extended down to Lake Tiberias. Also, some of your Aegean islands are miscolored for 1914 I think.
Excellent map, but minor point re: internal Russian boundaries.... In 1912, the Russians had created the Kholm Guberniya and split it of from the Privislinsky Krai/"Congress Poland", due to the large number of Ukrainians there (and to further weaken the Poles...)

Don't know why the detailed map disappeared from the Wiki article (I HATE when they do that!) But be warned, the western border of it is a real bitch to draw.....
Started making a Somalia Patch recently for around the 1890's, so far, this is what I have but I will finish this...for ya'll.
Also i've added sub divisions for the Dhulbahante - Farah Garaad, Maxamuud Garaad, and Bax Nuugal.
I'll finish the Darood clans soon...so keep an eye for that...
