Below the union
The census counts 4,608 villages and 368 mauzas inside these upazilas, and names none of them in any public file. No open boundary data for villages exists for Bangladesh at all, so the map stops at the union. Where OpenStreetMap has mapped a settlement it is shown as a point on the upazila page — 119 of them so far.
