Italian term or phrase: indicazione su cartografia dei punti di prelievo
This is from an article on a collection of minerals.

Essa comprende quasi esclusivamente campioni di selce, frutto di una raccolta selettiva sul territorio compiuta dai donatori, puntualmente corredati ***dall’indicazione su cartografia dei punti di prelievo***.

I am reluctant to use cartography here as that seems to be connected with the science/technique of drawing maps, etc. I have "...carefully labelled with indications on the map of the sampling (collection?) points" but I'm looking for confirmation and/or alternatives. TIA

English translation:sampling points shown on a map
Explanation:
Cartografia can simply mean map, as you'll see from the fifth example in my reference.

Puntualmente doesn't mean carefully - it's something along the lines of "in some cases" or "at some locations".
