Strang-era toponyms

Map showing historical place names, markers, trails, waterways, and a legend.

Place names recorded during the Kingdom of Saint James (1848–1856), shown against their modern forms where the identification is documented.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A vertical thematic map shows a peninsula-shaped landmass surrounded by blue water, with faint roads, trails, waterways, and shaded areas. Several colored symbols and labeled locations are distributed across the map, with a legend at the bottom explaining the symbols. A title and subtitle appear above the map, and source credits run along the lower edge.

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.

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The catalogue record describes this as an atlas figure or thematic plate documenting place names recorded during the Kingdom of Saint James from 1848 to 1856, compared with modern forms where documented. The drawing is credited to the archive's own data in EPSG:3078; underlying map data are credited to OpenStreetMap contributors under ODbL 1.0, and names to USGS GNIS in the public domain. The recorded image dimensions are 1785 × 2186 pixels.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The smallest source-credit text along the bottom edge is difficult to read completely.
