I still have my school atlas published in 1957, The Oxford Atlas, published by the Oxford University Press. I do not use it much now. Everything is on the Internet. Occasionally I will look up a disputed island in the South China sea. Spratly Island is given no ownership. Likewise the Scarborough Shoal.

However some of the disputed territory West of Westminster is fairly clear. From the index of that atlas:

Abergavenny, Mon, England
Cwmbran, Mon, England
Llangibby, Mon, England
Monmouth, Mon, England
Monmouthshire, County, England
