An extensive land survey was performed of all the ''magiri'' in [[1737]] to [[1750]]; known as the ''[[Qianlong land survey|Qianlong jiandi]]'' in Chinese (J: ''Kenryû kenchi''), this survey resulted in the creation of some 25 highly accurate, detailed, and brightly colored maps of the districts known as ''[[magiri-zu]]''.<ref>Gallery labels, ''Ryukyu/Okinawa no chizu ten'', Okinawa Prefectural Museum, Feb 2017.</ref>

Most if not all of the placenames associated with the ''magiri'' survived into the post-war period (mid-to-late 20th century), when villages began to be combined into new towns and cities with new names in a process called ''gappei''.

While most ''magiri'' historically contained villages (''mura'') within them, in the modern period many were renamed to "villages" (or cities or towns), and the former villages within them renamed as ''[[aza]]'' or simply neighborhoods.<ref>Megumi Chibana, "An Artful Way of Making Indigenous Space," ''Verge: Studies in Global Asias'' 4:2 (2018), 157n8.</ref>
