We can explore the collections of MandArt by location. Each region has its own unique discoveries.

This map shows the locations of the discoveries in this repository. Vertical space is divided into 12 primary regions, lettered A through L. Vertical space is further divided into 4 subregions, lettered a through d. Horizontal space is divided into 20 primary regions, numbered 01 through 12. The bottom space reflects the top space; discoveries in the lower half of the map are reflections of discoveries in the upper half.
