This is a rare 1890 Carrez map of western Shandong and southern Hebei, China, illustrating missionary activity in the region just a few years prior to the Boxer Rebellion (1899 - 1901). Coverage extends roughly from Tianjin (Tientsin), located in the upper right, south to roughly Zaozhuang. The map details the oddly shaped Apostolic Vicariate of Tché-Ly du Sud- East, occupying part of western Shandong and southern Hebei. The map is further subdivided into missionary districts, with coded icons representing the locations of churches and their status. In the lower right, there is a smaller map illustrating the general vicinity, and a large inset of the large fortified mission at Tchang Kia Tchouang (Chiang Kia-Chuang). (more details)
