English: Map of Khurasan and other provinces governed by the Tahirids, circa 836 AD, based on information given by the geographer Ibn Khurradadhbih d. ca. 911 AD. He provides a list, pages 34-39, of the revenues of each province and district under the control of the Tahirids. Cities and towns in the provinces are derived from his itineraries, pp. 22-54. The works of Le Strange and Barthold were used to determine the locations of several of the lesser-known districts, especially those in Tukharistan.
