Matrilines
Where each matriline has been reported, every map at the same scale. A report that names two matrilines travelling together is on both of their maps. Reports cluster where people watch from, along shorelines and ferry routes, so compare the maps with each other rather than reading any one as a range. Reports outside the area shown aren't drawn.
