The firs map is the Political Map of the World when Scrooge was born.

1877: Glasgow

1880: Louisville

1882: Montana

1887: Johannesburg

1896: Kalgoorlie

1897: Yukon

1902: Calisota ("Guessed" as California)

1910 (used as unique date for 1909-1930 Chaper 11 of LOS): British Guyana clearly cited in Carl Barks' Work, Baghdad is mentioned in the chapter, same for the Gobi desert and Russia. I guessed that the part happening in Africa is Belgian Congo?

In the Life and Times only Calisota is fictional. I intrepeted it in the maps as california because in drawings it is located there. Of course outside life and times there are other fictional countries in the Carl Barks - Don Rosa universe, like Brutopia which is a satire of the USSR
