The frontier follows the published 1770 parish map, the closest acquired late-colonial boundary reference. For 1801 island-wide administration, it follows the published 1801 map.

The insurgency and garrison footprints locate documented campaigns. Their disclosed corridor widths show the regional setting rather than exact front lines.
