Summary
Map of the Ili area as of ca. 1809. It is "upside down", that is the south is on top, and the west on the right. The 9 double-squares correspond to the 9 fortified towns that existed there since the 1760s, as per <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ili_Kazakh_Autonomous_Prefecture#Qing_Dynasty" class="extiw" title="en:Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture">en:Ili_Kazakh_Autonomous_Prefecture#Qing_Dynasty</a>; from left to right (i.e., east to west):
- 宁远城 (Ningyuan Cheng = "Old Kulja"; it's a 回城, i.e. a Muslim (Taranchi, Uyghur) town
- 熙春城 (Xichun Cheng; it's a Lüying ( 綠營). i.e. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Standard_Army" class="extiw" title="en:Green Standard Army">en:Green Standard Army</a> town
- Huining Cheng 惠宁城, a town for Manchu troops
- Huiyuan Cheng 惠远城, a town for Manchu troops
- Suiding Cheng 绥定城, Green Standard Army
- Guangren Cheng 广仁城, "left camp"
- Taleqi Cheng 塔勒奇城, Green Standard Army
- Zhande Cheng 瞻德城, "right camp"
- Gongchen Cheng 拱宸城, Green Standard Army (on the east side of Horgos River, 霍儿果斯河)
East of Ningyuan, one can see a few 回庄 (Hui zhuang, i.e. "Muslim (Taranchi) villages"). Around Manchu and Green Standard towns, one can see a number 旗屯 (qi tun, Banner farms; the were worked by Solons, Chahars, and Xibe, according to Millward) and 绿营屯 (lü ying tun, Green standard farms), as well as 屯所 (tun suo; yet another kind of settler's farms/villages?). Xibo Bannermen (锡伯八旗, Xibo Ba Qi) are shown stationed across the Ili River from Huiyuan.
Kazakhs (哈萨克, Hasake), are shown along the northern and western edge of the map; Kyrgyz ("Buruts", 布鲁特, Bulute), further south along the western edge. Lake Sairam (塞里木, Sailimu), is found beyond the Borohoro mountains near the NW corner.
