I think if some changes are made to the first map, it can be viewed as a map of Dahuang. Where do you find it inconsistent with the novel?

One of the problems I have with the first map is the fact that Qingshui Town is too far inland. In Ch2, Qingshui town borders Xuan Yuan to the West, Hong Jiang's army to the East and Gao Xin to the south. So it has to be further east and above Gao Xin. Also, I expect it to be nearer to the Eastern Sea . When I imagine Xuan Yuan on the west of Qingshui Town, it should include the Central Plains. So Shen Nong mountain etc should also be on the west of Qingshui Town. In addition 玉山 should be on the West. Also the Fangfeng clan is from the North, not where the map placed them (I would have swapped them with the Fanglei clan). 

The second map is a screenshot from the drama itself, which should coincide with another map @Kokuto shared the drama. Here, Qingshui Town's location makes more sense - above 五神山 of Gao Xin, and near the gourd-shaped lake. I just can't read many of the map locations clearly. How about you?

After seeing this picture, I even looked for the map Feng Long showed to Cang Xuan when he persuaded him to come to the Central Plains, but the words on it were also unclear :-(

The calligraphy on this picture should be Xiao Zhuan, which is very ancient. Even if it is very clear, I may not be able to recognize all the characters. The words on this picture are too blurry. I can only make out the words Wushenshan, Gaoxin, Baili, Yingzhou, and Tushanshi. Do you know which scene in the drama this map is from? I'll go see if there's a clearer version :-)

Where did you manage to see 涂山氏? I could only see 清水镇 (circled in red),高辛,五神山,百黎族,瀛州. I can't tell whether the one above 瀛州 is 汤谷. I am not sure but I think this scene has not appeared in the drama yet - probably in S2? Hopefully you manage to find a clearer version as well.

Oh, you checked Feng Long's map and it was not clear too? I was thinking of doing that as well... guess it is no longer necessary. 

I am surprised Tong Hua had the character diagram in the 2019 revised edition, but no map. Wish she would have one released in the future.

涂山氏 is just a little in front of Xiang Liu's face, in front of the upper half of his face to be precise. Can you see it? :-)
