There is no in-code correlation between the levels listed on the AREAS command and exploration/observation, but I think we've done a pretty good job of being consistent over the decades.

For observation there is only a level cap, not a minimum. You can be too high level (i.e. there's no risk here) but never too low.

For exploration, each location has a minimum and maximum level.

What changed when?

Exploration XP now has a MIN level in addition to a MAX level.
