  • Map originally comes from: Koehler, Henry (1940). "La Kasba saadienne de Marrakech, d'après un plan manuscrit de 1585". Hespéris. 27: 1–20.
  • The map is also republished, with amended labels, in: Barrucand, Marianne (1985). Urbanisme princier en Islam: Meknès et les villes royales islamiques post-médiévales. Paris: Geuthner. (An English article by Barrucand with the map and some of the same information can also be found here: https://archnet.org/sites/4743/publications/3224)
The information about the structures described in the key above comes from Barrucand's book, as it's a little clearer and more recent. (Similar information is also found in Quentin Wilbaux's 2001 book "La médina de Marrakech" and Xavier Salmon's 2016 book "Marrakech: Splendeurs saadiennes".)
