Every named feature in the archive's gazetteer, coloured by the era its name is first attested in. Unclassified means unexamined, not neutral.

A printed thematic map shows a large peninsula and surrounding landforms outlined in black against a gray background. Colored dots are distributed across the landforms, with a five-category legend at lower left. A title, explanatory subtitle, and source line appear on the plate.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.
