The physical base map of THE LAND is built from the Natural Earth 10m datasets, a community project led by Tom Patterson and Nathaniel Vaughn Kelso: coastlines, land, rivers, and lakes; named peaks, regions, and seas (the "Physical names" layer); bathymetry depth bands; and present-day international borders (solid) with disputed and ceasefire lines (dashed) in the "Modern borders" overlay. The Modern Israel era's "Modern cities" and "Modern roads & rail" overlays come from the same 10m cultural vectors: built-up urban areas, present-day cities and towns with their populations, airports, seaports, highways and railways.

The attested ancient names shown on place panels in THE LAND — Greek, Latin and Hebrew forms as they are written in the sources, such as Ἱεροσόλυμα for Jerusalem and Διόσπολις for Lydda — together with the Pleiades identifier stored on 73 New Testament places. Pleiades' own place descriptions are also reproduced as published in the place text for Constantinople, Theodosiopolis, Pamplona, Bordeaux, Old Paphos and Sebaste, and Pleiades supplies the coordinates for the first four together with Sebasteia, Poitiers and Tours.

The shaded-relief terrain of THE LAND — the hillshaded, elevation-tinted landforms across the whole map, with sharper ridges over the Holy Land — is rendered from NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) elevation data: the global 90 m tier (SRTM GL3) with 30 m detail (SRTM GL1) over the Levant. Obtained through OpenTopography; SRTM elevation data is in the public domain (NASA/USGS).

Roman political geography in THE LAND: the per-province shading for the Second Temple (60 BC), Roman Judea (AD 14), Paul's Journeys (AD 69), and Byzantine (AD 314 post-Diocletian) eras; empire extents; province boundary linework; and the Roman road network. The campaign routes in THE LAND that follow Roman roads are traced on that network: the four Muslim conquest of Syria routes (Yarmuk, 634–637), the western half of the Manzikert march (Constantinople to Theodosiopolis, 1071), and the whole of the Tours route (Pamplona to the Battle of Tours, 732); those derived route files are distributed under the same license.

62 person entries in THE LINE are taken from ACAI, the biblical entity dataset published by BiblioNexus and copyright Mission Mutual, at github.com/BN-Content/acai-releases. They are used only where the Open Bible Dictionary has nothing for the person — either no article at all (Canaan son of Ham, Magog, Asshur, Lud, Tema, Adbeel, Akan, Timnah, Zemira, Pochereth, both men named Oded, Hanameel, Jasher, Hachaliah, Elipheleh, Chushan-rishathaim, Ashur, Rhesa and Porcius Festus), or an article that turns out to be about a different man of the same name (Ezra of Nehemiah 12, Ulam, Shimhi, Joah, Jeshua, Hattush, both men named Eden, Abimelech son of Gideon, and the unnamed man of great stature of 2 Samuel 21:20), or an article that carries the name but describes a nation rather than a person (Moab, son of Lot). Thirty-three more were added on 6 August 2026 — among them Midian, Tatnai, Poti-pherah, Bohan, Agur, Epaenetus, Asnappar and the two men named Jesaiah — most of which ACAI carries under a modern spelling of the King James name, and which it usually reconciles itself: “Sharezer, also known as Sherezer”, “Urbanus, also known as Urbane”, “Osnappar, also known as Ashurbanipal”.

THE LAND’s post-biblical eras — Second Temple through modern Israel — carry 90 places. The descriptions on 4 of them were written for Sacred Word and cite no outside source. The remaining 86 follow published work, credited here rather than on each marker:

Two markers carry a note about their own uncertainty rather than a source: the Battle of Tours marker is the midpoint of Poitiers and Tours and is not a proposed site, and no founding date for Hinis is attested in any source consulted.
