Map of the Middle East in 1802
On 1 July 1802, IntMap’s historical map draws 27 names within the Middle East. The borders for this date come from OpenHistoricalMap (day by day), then Cliopatria, Seshat Global History Databank (by year), then historical-basemaps — each drawn only where the records before it are silent. The map also draws 3 outlines here that the source gives no name.

Listed: every name whose outline IntMap draws inside 25°E–63°E, 12°N–42°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.
