The Ye River is a river of Burma. It has its source in the Tenasserim Hills and drains into the Andaman Sea along the Mon State coast. Wa Kyun is an island located 3 kilometres west-northwest of the mouth of the Ye River. The Ye River flows through the eastern part of the town of Ye town.

Editorial summary

“Ye River” enters the record as river in Myanmar. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what River, river and Myanmar can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewMost useful as a place-based finding aid connecting the present description to earlier jurisdictions, maps and built evidence. The current 57-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around River, river and Myanmar.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Ye River” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, River, river and Myanmar provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 26, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q8050768. Authority coordinates are 15.250, 97.850. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
