I am not 100% certain but it's likely that the shaded areas correspond to Upper Silesian Industry Area, Central Industrial Area and possibly Old Polish Industrial Area.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  19:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

There is so much wrong with this map that it's almost like a parody. Upper Silesia is far smaller in reality than on this map. Here the word "Silesia" is printed over Lesser Poland, which is definitely not part of Silesia, Upper or otherwise. The shaded area is also questionable, I'm not an expert on interwar Polish economy but just knowing the topography of the areas in question and what they look like today, I'm quite confident that there was a lot more industry in the heavily urbanized mining area north of Katowice than there was in the mountains at the Slovak border. The "Eastern Litte Poland" near the border with Romania is an absolute head-scratcher, I don't think anyone would ever call it that, and if they did, the same person certainly wouldn't have put "Galicia" in between "Eastern Little Poland" and Little/Lesser Poland proper. To me, as a native Pole, "Eastern Little Poland" means the area around Tarnow, under "ia" in "upper silesia" on the map, or if we assume an expanded definition, the Western part of what is labeled "Galicia" on this map. It certainly does not and never did extend anywhere near the interwar Romanian border. - Jan Janiczek aka Hattivat, 21 August 2019
