About this map and its geography
These are settings from the published films and person records. A pin can represent a town, island, installation or wider region; each place explains its scope. The stories belong to different people and periods.
Made with Natural Earth, 1:110m land and 1:50m Canary Island outlines. Public-domain coastline data, projected and rounded for this self-contained locator. The Canary Islands use finer 1:50m outlines. Coastlines provide modern geographic context; no political boundaries are drawn. Public-domain terms.
The Places in Their Time collection provides the archive’s separate queue for deeper historical place contexts.
