A useful way to practice

Physical features cross borders, so link each one to the countries around it. When two features sit close together, come back after a break and try the pair again unaided.

Outlines come from Natural Earth, a public-domain map dataset.

Put the map to work in history

Once a place feels familiar, use it in a Terra Tempus history round: read a clue about a real, sourced event, place it on the map, then set it in time.
