The Shifta layer identifies the North-Eastern conflict region; it does not imply uniform rebel control over all the land inside it.
The Highlands, reserves and forests are thematic study regions reconstructed from the 1933 commission map. The Kinangop grouping is removed after redistribution. The retained fills are regional historical land references, not an inventory of individual farm ownership.
