The borders of Yuan dynasty China, as well as the borders of the Chagatai Khanate, are marked by dashed lines.
Nearby nations (the Chagatai Khanate, Japan and the Ryukyu Kingdom), nearby peoples (the Ainu and Nivkh), special provinces that existed during the 13th century (Jiaozhi, Zhancheng and Zhengmian) and other areas within Yuan dynasty China (the Central Region controlled by the Central Secretariat (Zhongshu Sheng), and the Tibetan Plateau controlled by the Bureau of Buddhist and Tibetan Affairs (Xuanzheng Yuan)) have been labelled on the map.
