For identifying towns, villages, peaks, lakes etc by districts, use the following placemarks alongwith the overlay map for district boundaries of Northern Areas: Northern Pakistan detailed placemarks in Google Earth

Open the above mentioned overlay map in Google Earth and it clearly shows what lies in which district (but this map is old, Astore district was carved out of Diamer District later on in 2004, works for all other boundaries). User:Waqas.usman (Talk) 02:32, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The information on this page seems to be a duplication of that on Northern Areas and the individual district pages: Ghangche, Skardu, Astore, Diamer, Ghizer, Gilgit. Once I've checked that all information presented here is present in these articles - is everyone happy that I turn this into a redirect to Northern Areas? Madmedea 10:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the line about "disputed" status of the Northern Areas. If the page about Indian "State of Jammu and Kashmir" doesn't say on top that it's disputed between Pakistan and India, then this page shouldn't have that at the top either. Wikipedia's policy as far as I understand is to consider the area with Pakistan to be part of Pakistan, and the area with India to be part of India (separated by the line of control). 76.100.10.26 (talk) 21:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The area was in fact not contested and had no linkage with Kashmir dispute, it was Pakistan to present Gilgit-Baltistan as part of Kashmir issue on international forums, against the aspirations of people of Gilgit-Baltistan.--User:Kazmi(talk) 21:50, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since the Northern Areas became Gilgit-Baltistan, the number of districts has changed. Gilgit district has been split into Gilgit and Hunza-Nagar. See Gilgit-Baltistan#Subdivisions. --Rupert Pupkin (talk) 11:06, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
