Geographic Explorer

Browse the archive through a multi-resolution geography model: precise city/region/country locations where supported, approximate historical canonical geography where necessary, and explicit global scope for location-independent stories. Organization headquarters are never substituted for event location.

Evidence first, coordinates second

Geographic representation is graduated rather than binary. Evidence-backed city, region and country locations keep their stronger confidence; historical canonical locations without per-location evidence are shown as approximate; global stories remain visible as global. Coordinates are resolved into a local cache and remain invisible on the interactive map until explicitly approved. Organization headquarters are never substituted for event geography.
