2) This blue line signifies a river, with the yellow signifying a lowered bank on surrounding the river. This is the Yarmuk River, with the settlements of Jair on the South Bank.

5) This point of interest marks the city Ramoth Gilead at the cross between two highways (marked with brown lines), near the tip of the Yarmuk river and the base of the local mountain. This is the last Israelite city if traveling North by the highway. 

6) This is the city of Kamon, positioned on a slope between the Jordan River and the rising elevation toward the mountain. The green/yellow gradient indicates an elevation change from yellow (lowest) to green (middle) to brown (highest). 

7) This is the city of Zaphon, positioned on the bank of the Jordan River, marked by a jagged blue line.
