My name is Mike J Nagle. I have been creating  political maps of the world related to the 1632/Ring of Fire series since December, 2016.

Some of the maps show the political situation at the Time of the Ring of Fire; that is, on May 25, 1631. These maps are historically accurate for the Original Timeline. Other maps show the situation at a later date in the New Timeline.

Each map is available at full-size resolution and half-size resolution.

These maps are all works in progress. While they are essentially finished, I am constantly making corrections and adding new information to them. I am still creating new maps. As each is completed, I will add submit it for to this page.

I am sincerely grateful to 1632 for allowing me to include my maps on their website.

The situation in the East Indies at the end of 1636.

A general-reference map of Southeast Asia at the end of 1636. 1636: The China Venture is currently in the works. Sometime in the hopefully-not-too-distant future, it should be published. When it is, the situation in southern China, Formosa (Taiwan), and the Philippines will certainly need to be revised to reflect the NTL changes that will be introduced by the novel.

Meanwhile, Formosa and the Philippines are not accurate for the end of 1635 (NTL). They are only accurate up to the end of 1635.
