    How to read this map

    Connections join located entries in chronological stages; other recorded places stay in the text. Dashed connections pass intervening stages without a map position. They do not document a travel route or continuous service.

    Entries within the same AH year are not ordered. Stages with more than one located locality remain unconnected; each source place stays visible.

    1 stop kept as text without a verified locality point. No provincial capital is substituted.
