Mounted along one classroom wall as a coordinated set. The four-region framing is INTENTIONAL - it teaches that geography is the precondition for cultural development without becoming geographic determinism. Children locate the same Equator across all four maps to teach KS2 Geog 1.1.A. The contemporary borders on each map (alongside the historical sites) enforce the present-tense protocol - the regions are CURRENT places, not erased pasts.

Prompt
