Hello, friends. Digging in one interesting resource, I found a lot of graphic material on Tartary. Probably, it will be interesting for you to look at this too. Do not pass by, there are star-fortress schemes and a lot of interesting things. Comments, as they say, are superfluous, but where I was impatient, I made very brief remarks.
Detailed maps of Chinese Tartary. I can only say that this is not China, but the territory from modern Chita to Vladivostok. Geographic names don't say anything, at least to me.

Pay attention to how many fortress stars there are. And then only large. The map itself raises questions, but a lot of interesting names are indicated - Gog, Magog, Tartarus, etc., and the map is from 1654. Apparently, all the disasters were later.
Until the first comments - ordinary cards. Look, you might find something interesting.
Pay attention to how many stars-fortresses are in the European part of Russia. She, apparently, was a very restless province of Tartary and rushed between west and east.
This is apparently a continuation of the previous map. Notice how the north is populated. Probably more than the average band. And all in great detail. And this is the 17th century (as if not later).
Russian America is obviously composed by the cartographer. The Asian part is quite true.
Obviously, the cartographer mapped Bering's path to his strait. Oddly enough, along the inland waterways. Where did he actually swim?
Lovers of fortress stars, take a magnifying glass and study. Here and Persia (with Armenia and Azerbaijan), and Central Asia, and Turkey (although it is not written, which is very strange).
And these are our fortress stars.
Also take a magnifying glass and study. This is the second map of Tartary of the same shape, but by a different author, but all the stars, even with communication lines, are depicted. The author is not unknown N. Vitsen.
This is a regular card. Nothing new.
There are star-fortress temples on the map below.
There are also temples and fortress stars on the map below.
Please note that Anian is Russian America. Look at what she was.
The map below should be studied with a magnifying glass. Many interesting details.
Below is Lithuania, she is Lithuania. There are also many interesting objects.
Below is a map of the Carpathian Rusyns. And there are also many interesting objects.
Until next time.
