This map shows situation as in year 1850 when Austria began to issue stamps.
In the region, there were two empires: Habsburg (Austro-hungarian) and Ottoman (Turkish) empire.
The borders were mostly as between modern Croatia and B&H with minor differences, notably in south around Gnome, where B&H now have corridor to the sea, and in Boka Kotorska, the big fjord in southern Adriatic. The part of Habsburg empire was also Vojvodina, a province south and east of modern Hungary and Croatia, respectively.
