A wider frame for this post, though I've just added the small area in the middle. This includes adding another quarter of Lake Balaton, so that lake is taking shape. Another smaller lake east of Belgrad, Lake Velence (in English, "Lake Venice") is listed as the third largest lake in Hungary; I assume they're counting Neusiedler See, which Hungary just barely shares with Austria, and though quite big isn't as large as Balaton.
Budapest is inside that little notch that's blank on the upper right, on the Danube that's shown here. That river has been getting progressively smaller as I map upstream ... there'll be a little more of that river in the near future.
Belgrad is the modern Szekesfehervar, which I think means "Szekes in Feher county." Feel free to correct me, what do I know? A little research revealed that a protected natural area nearby is called in English — if it can be believed — the "Watermelon-infested Nature Reserve," but even the Hungarian wikipedia doesn't explain why. Just kicking this out there to prove the world's a strange place.
The above is three sheets laid over one another. The cut-off lines exist because the lower left sheet hasn't been duplicated on the upper sheet yet. I'm going to leave that until I finish all I'm going to do with the Croatia sheet.
I'll finish Lake Balaton with the next post.
