Summary
| Description |
English:
The Medieval Mali Empire at the end of Mansa Musa's reign (1337 CE)
Map Sources: Physical elevation representation comes from public-domain SRTM data. Coastlines follow the Barrington Atlas of the Ancient World (Princeton University Press, 2000)--while Mali hardly falls within the time period covered by this atlas, these coastlines omit major harbor construction in the modern period, and are accurate at the scale of the map. Rivers adapted from ESRI user contributions, or traced from satellite imagery. Ecological zones based on "A New Map of Standardized Terrestrial Ecosystems of Africa" (Association of American Geographers, 2013). Historical data drawn from Robert Collins and James Burns, "A History of Sub-Saharan Africa" (Cambridge University Press, 2007) (see esp. p. 86). Adapted and expanded based on lecture materials from Dr. Lisa Lindsay at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and from this map by wikimedia user Aa77zz: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Trans-Saharan_routes_early.svg |
