This SVG image contains embedded raster graphics.[1] Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size). If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics. Note: This template is only supposed to be used if the SVG file mixes vector and raster graphics. If the SVG file only contains raster graphics {{FakeSVG}} is supposed to be used. See also {{TopoSVG}}.
Summary
DescriptionTahirid Khurasan ca 836 AD.svg
English: Map of Khurasan and other provinces governed by the Tahirids, circa 836 AD, based on information given by the geographer Ibn Khurradadhbih d. ca. 911 AD. He provides a list, pages 34-39, of the revenues of each province and district under the control of the Tahirids. Cities and towns in the provinces are derived from his itineraries, pp. 22-54. The works of Le Strange and Barthold were used to determine the locations of several of the lesser-known districts, especially those in Tukharistan.
