Territories and displacement hatching are reconstructed from published source geometry. The hatched areas locate historical regions; ethnicity, displacement and control were not necessarily uniform at every point within them.

The layer records give the full source geometry and date choices. Arrows remain schematic routes, using the lesson’s existing volume categories.

The 1954 Vietnam line uses the nearest published regroupment polygons, from 1956. The Thai-Cambodian overlay is a 12 km study corridor around the actual boundary; markers identify individual camps separately.
