What's the background on this map? It seems inaccurate as a modern interpretation of the Biblical record. For instance, on at least one of the particulars where it differs from the 1715 Lotter map, the latter is in fact more consistent whth the Biblical account (which, unless there are other sources not mentioned in the Tribal allotments of Israel, I assume are meant to be the map's origins). Specifically, Joshua 12:1 makes it clear the Transjordanian territory should extend as far north as Mount Hermon, well north of the Sea of Galilee, unlike in this image where the Transjordanian territory ends a bit south of Galilee.

YES! This map is not right. Gad reached (Joshua 13:27) "...as far as the Sea of Chinnereth,...." Chinnereth is an old name for the sea of Galilee. Benjamin's Southeastern boundary is (Joshua 18:19) "...the north bay at the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan." Quotations are from the New King James Version of the Bible.

I cant help but notice that in this map the boundaries for the tribe of Zebulun do not entirely match up with the description given in the Tribe of Zebulun article nor the book of Joshua.
According to the corresponding article:
The territory it was allocated was at the southern end of the Galilee, with its eastern border being the Sea of Galilee, the western border being the Mediterranean Sea, the south being bordered by the Tribe of Issachar, and the north by Asher on the western side and Naphtali on the eastern.
