Map of Europe in 10,000 BC
For 10,000 BC, IntMap draws the historical-basemaps — each drawn only where the records before it are silent map of that year: 6 names within Europe. The map also draws 36 outlines here that the source gives no name.

Source and method
Borders and names: aourednik/historical-basemaps (github.com/aourednik/historical-basemaps) · GPL-3.0 · adapted by IntMap: each sheet before 1886 less the ground OpenHistoricalMap and Cliopatria state at that sheet's year.
Listed: every name whose outline IntMap draws inside 25°W–45°E, 34°N–72°N on this date, with the name the map writes on it. The list is worked out when the site is built, from the same records and the same code the map uses, so it says what the map shows — not more. Names are the source’s own, translated where the source or IntMap’s name table has a translation.
