| | Central African Republic Prefectures |
 | | The prefectures are named for the major rivers of the area: Ubangui, Nana, Mambéré, Kadeï, Lobaye, M'Poko, Ombella, Sangha, Kémo, Ouaka, Kotto, and M'Bomou all flow into the Congo; Pendé, Ouham, Gribingui, Bamingui, Bangoran, and Vakaga all flow into the Chari, and thus to Lake Chad. |
 | | Bangui: in the Bobangui language, it means "the rapids." Bangui is located at the first great rapid of the Ubangi River. |
 | | At this time, the Central African Republic was divided into the prefectures of Basse-Kotto (capital Mobaye), Bouar-Baboua (Bouar), Haute-Kotto (Bria), Haute-Sangha (Berbérati), Kémo-Gribingui (Fort-Sibut), Lobaye (M'Baïki), M'Bomou (Bangassou), Obo-Zémio (Obo), Ombella-M'Poko (Bangui), Ouaka (Bambari), Ouham (Bossangoa), and Ouham-Pendé (Bozoum), and the autonomous sub-prefectures of Birao (Birao) and N'Délé (N'Délé). |
