Kyrgyzstan learning maps — prepared 19 October 2026

Country outline: existing public/countries.geojson, Kyrgyzstan (ISO_A2 KG),
from Natural Earth 1:10m, public domain. Reused without changing the world map.
Waters: Natural Earth 5.1.2, public domain, source commit ca96624:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/ca96624/geojson/ne_10m_lakes.geojson
Selected source names: Issyk-Kul; Toktogul Suu Saktagychy.

Reproduce: node scripts/build-kyrgyzstan-maps.mjs
Optional offline input: directory containing lakes.geojson as first argument.

Cities: curated rounded settlement-centre coordinates, referenced against
Wikipedia settlement location information. These pins are not municipal polygons.
Manas uses the city formerly named Jalal-Abad, renamed by Law No. 200 of
17 September 2025:

https://en.kabar.kg/news/kyrgyzstan-renames-its-jalal-abad-city-to-manas/
The Wikipedia lookup retains the older page title as a reference/redirect.

Sights: curated reference coordinates from Wikipedia place articles and UNESCO
property maps; rounded for learning. The UNESCO serial property contains three
distinct Kyrgyz archaeological sites:
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1442/maps/
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1230/maps/
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1490/maps/
Natural-area pins can identify a lake or landscape, not a public entrance.
Song-Kol and Sary-Chelek pins are lake references. Arslanbob is a village-centre
reference for the surrounding forest. Ala-Archa is the road-access area.

These generalised outlines do not depict current water levels or resolve border
agreements, enclaves, municipal expansion or access. No administrative-boundary
map is presented. The two waters are selected targets, not a full lake or river
network. Seven regions and the separate cities of Bishkek and Osh are described
in the reading, without deriving their boundaries from this national outline.
