This map concerns settlement, voyages and the environment. Its geographic study regions are not all medieval state borders. Modern continental borders are dissolved, while the dated Danelaw and Normandy sources retain their historical meaning.
Greenland settlement references come from published farm distributions. The ice bands, coastal migration bands and voyage ranges are explanatory regions rather than measured medieval boundaries. The erroneous Cliopatria eastern Greenland placement was rejected.
