Credits & data sources

GeoMapsQuiz is built on open data. Thank you to everyone who makes it.

Boundaries

• District and tehsil boundaries of Pakistan: the pkmapr R package, built on geoBoundaries (William & Mary geoLab), licensed CC BY 4.0. Districts created since 2022 were assembled from their tehsils.
• Country outline, rivers, lakes, mountain areas and shaded relief: Natural Earth, public domain. The outline follows Natural Earth's Pakistan point of view.

Places

• City locations: GeoNames, licensed CC BY 4.0, checked and corrected by hand.
• Peaks, passes, glaciers, valleys, dams, parks, coast and landmarks: positions and facts compiled by GeoMapsQuiz from public reference sources.

Figures

• Population and area: Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, 7th Population and Housing Census 2023. Each place card shows the census year its figure comes from.
• Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir: 2011 Census of India, the most recent count.

How the map is drawn

The Pakistan maps follow Pakistan's official political map: Jammu & Kashmir is shown in full as disputed territory, with its final status to be decided in line with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and Junagadh & Manavadar are marked. Boundaries are simplified for play and are not authoritative for any legal or survey purpose.
