• Source: List of places depicted in the Mao Kun map

The Mao Kun map is a set of navigation charts published in the Ming dynasty military treatise Wubei Zhi. It depicts the geography of eastern China, southeast and southern Asia, Arabia, and eastern Africa. Along the way, it includes Chinese labels of 570 islands, towns, and other places.
Some locations in China are easily identified, as their names have not changed over the centuries. Farther west, the identity of locations marked on the map become more difficult to determine. This list includes the most likely candidates for each map label. This list has been largely produced based on the findings by J.V.G Mills and published in 1970. However, in the last fifty years and especially in the last thirty years, Chinese, Asian and African historians have accessed new archaeological, archival and ethnographic data that has found some of these Mills' toponyms to be changed.
