Seasonal Camps Map
The seasonal camps map records the Evenki residential camp locations across different seasons throughout the year. The pattern uses four concentric zones or sectors to represent the four seasons, with each zone marking major campsites, water sources, and pasture conditions for that season.
Cultural Significance
The Evenki follow strict seasonal migration patterns: moving upstream along rivers in spring, grazing in alpine meadows in summer, migrating downstream in autumn, and wintering in sheltered valleys. The seasonal camps map is a spatiotemporal archive of this ancient nomadic wisdom, condensing ecological rhythms, meteorological knowledge, and survival strategies into a complete spatial narrative.

Migration Route Map
The migration route map is the most representative of Evenki narrative map patterns, using line networks to record generations of seasonal migration routes. Different line thicknesses and elevations represent different levels of migration paths—trunk routes, branch routes, and temporary routes.
River Systems Navigation Map
The river systems navigation map depicts in detail the river network of the Greater Khingan Mountains region, with main rivers as the framework and tributaries as branches, forming a tree-structure geographic information map. Flow directions, confluence points, and shoal locations are important references for Evenki water transportation and fishery production.
