Documentary source of map

I notice the map http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Saxon_England_according_to_the_Saxon_Chronicle.jpg doesn't have any documentary source on what source it was originally published in, or what date in history the author of the map claimed to represent from interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Someone has asserted on en:Constitutional Status of Cornwall that it represents the situation around AD 700.

I also notice the usage seems fairly restricted:

Usage on en.wikipedia.org

   * Cornwall
   * History of Devon
   * Constitutional status of Cornwall
   * Cornish people
   * User:Laurascudder/maps
   * Haplogroup I1 (Y-DNA)

I would suppose that if this map is regarded by experts in the field as being an accurate interpretation of British history, it would be used on a wider variaty of articles on British history, not just articles where people might have a political axe to grind about the status of Cornwall Govynn (talk) 19:49, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
