光绪末期，奉天内部的行政区划调整趋于频繁。奉天、锦州二府作为关东门户，是东北开发最成熟的地域单元。在陪都地位弱化、省制推行、地方基层治理、晚清通商等多种因素作用下，清末奉天、锦州二府的县级政区升级两例，新设府级政区两个，新设县级政区七个，裁撤县级政区一个，县制进一步扩展，新设政区的空间划分模式主要采取“县内分家”。总体上奉天、锦州两府的县级政区边界呈现出较强的历史继承性，边界变动主要源于析置新县，“山川形便”与柳条边的走向是影响边界形态的主要因素。此外，局部存有的少许犬牙之地也使边界格局增添了些许复杂性，影响了政区空间的生成过程与结构。基于编绘《清史地图集·奉天图》的经验，复原宣统三年奉天、锦州两府县级政区边界的空间形态，有助于完善关于县制政区结构体系的认识。

In the late Guangxu reign (1875-1908), there were frequent adjustments to the administrative regions in Fengtian. Fengtian and Jinzhou which were the most developed regional units in Northeast China. Under the influence of various factors, such as the weakening of the status of the alternate capital, the implementation of the provincial system, local grass-roots governance, and commerce in the late Qing, two county-level administrative units were upgraded, two prefectureleveladministrative units and seven county-level administrative units were established, while one county-level administrative unit was abolished in Fengtian and Jinzhou. The mode of spatial division of the new administrative regions mainly adopted the practice of “separations within the county” and the boundaries showed a strong historical inheritance. The changes of the boundaries mainly resulted from the establishment of new counties. The alignment of mountains, rivers and the Willow Palisade were the main factors affecting the shape of the boundaries. In addition, the local twists and turns and anomalies increased the complexity of the border patterns and affected the formation of the administrative structure. Based on the experience of compiling Fengtian historical maps for The History Atlas of China during the Qing Dynasty, the article reconstructs the county boundaries of Fengtian and Jinzhou at the end Qing Dynasty.
