Study area map: single column

The Swat valley map at single-column width (90 mm). With no room beside the map, eofigs puts the locator inset and the north arrow with the scale bar in the emptiest parts of the map, clear of the outline, the towns and their labels; the legend finds no such place, so it goes below the map with the elevation colour bar. The figure height follows the shape of the study area, up to 75 % of the journal's maximum height. Outline: former Swat district (before January 2026), now Swat and Bar Swat (geoBoundaries).
