The first diagram shows the area around the koppie of the Ochre (which is shown as a red circle). Before proceeding to the detail of this, which is the second diagram, note the relationship between the Koppie and the Backbone which runs up the left hand side.

On the second diagram, the irregular shapes show the positions of the various seasonal lagoons. Also shown is the positions of neighbouring koppies whose tribes appear in The Standing Dead.

Also of note are the various earthworks or camps which Osidian constructs, first for the 'great hunt' in which he captures a herd of heaveners, and then for provoking the neighbouring tribes with a view to conquering them.
