Terms:
North Lowlands -- The lands north of Emyn Uial and the North Downs East Lowlands  -- The lands between the Weather Hills and Mitheithel North Rhudaur  -- The lands north of the Trollshaws to the Ettenmoors Midlands       -- The lands north of Bree, south of Fornost, from                   Baranduin to the Weather Hills Minhiriath     -- The lands between Baranduin and Gwathlo, as far                   east as the Greenway
Notes:
1)  The Borians were Easterlings, Swarthy Men, who settled in northern     Eriador in the First Age.  The Folk of Bor passed north around the     Ered Luin and settled in Lothlann, north of Himring, as subjects of     Maedhros.  Although this clan or tribe was wiped out during the     Nirnaeth Arnoediad, a note in THE WAR OF THE JEWELS indicates that     other clans related to the Folk of Bor remained in Eriador, and they     were the ancestors of the northernmost Men to live in Eriador in the     Second Age.
    That these Borians would have survived into the Third Age is purely     speculative, but if they did, it seems probable they either became     the Lossoth (who were said to be a remnant of the Forodwaith of the     First Age) or else they died out some time before the final war with     Angmar.  If they died out, the latest probable date for their demise     seems to be 1636, when the Great Plague swept across Eriador, although     Tolkien says the plague lessened in intensity as it passed north.
2)  "The Heirs of Elendil" in THE PEOPLES OF MIDDLE-EARTH suggests,     in the entry for Earendur, that Annuminas was deserted when his     sons divided Arnor among themselves.
3)  The "Easterlings" is intended to represent descendants of those     Easterlings who fled Beleriand at the fall of Thangorodrim.  Their     descendants could have included the Men of Angmar, the Hill folk     who deposed the Dunedain in Rhudaur, and any Men who might have     settled in these lowlands.  There is no textual evidence that     Men actually lived in the East Lowlands.  However, Valandur (602-     652), the eighth King of Arnor, died a violent death in 652.  His     death seems to imply some sort of war was fought.  The most logical     foe would be a tribe or nation of Easterlings living east or     north of Arnor (though the presence of Elves in the East Lowlands     would seem to imply the region was not unfriendly to Arnor -- see     note 4).
4)  Tolkien indicates that Elves continued to live throughout Eriador     in at least the early part of the Third Age.  Although many would     have been part of Wandering Companies, the society of the Wandering     Companies is not documented (were they permanently nomadic?), and     it is not clear that all would have been.  If they required lands     of their own, the East Lowlands appear not to have been part of     Elendil's realm, and a great number of Elves could have dwelt     there beside Arnor at least until the end of the Second Age.  In     the Third Age, these should have comprised the majority of the Elves     of Eriador who acknowledged Elrond's leadership.  The most likely     time for their departure from this region would be when Angmar     arose and threatened the Dunedain and Imladris.
5)  The presence of Giants is purely speculative, based on some     etymological evidence and the suggestion in THE HOBBIT that Giants     were not native to the Misty Mountains.  When they arrived and     from whence they might have come are not known.  But if the Giants     tended toward evil, then they may have arrived when the Lord of     the Nazgul colonized the north and established the realm of Angmar.
6)  Some of Elendil's people settled between Baranduin and Lhun.  But     when the lands became deserted is not clear.  I have inferred that     the abandonment of Annuminas implies these lands were deserted by     then.
7)  Tolkien does not say that Hobbits actually settled in the Midlands,     but he does say that they migrated westward and many settled at     Bree.  Since not all settled at Bree, the others must have lived     somewhere else.  By 1300 the Hobbits appear to have begun learning     how to build, and they would not have all been living in tunnels.     When the non-Bree settlements vanished is not given, either.  There     are three logical times when these settlements could have vanished:     1600, when the Shire was colonized; 1636, during the Great Plague;     1974, when Angmar destroyed Arnor.  The Great Plague seems the     least likely, but if the communities had already been depleted by     emigration, their populations could have died out more easily in the     plague.
8)  Some men continued to live in Minhiriath after the Great Plague, but     Tolkien says they were very few.  We know the Dunedain of Cardolan     all perished in the plague, so the survivors must have been Gwathuirim     or Mixed People.  Since Tolkien says no other settlements of Men     survived close to the Shire (outside of Bree) by the end of the Third     Age, the Minhiriathians must have lived in isolated homesteads, much     as the Folk of Haleth who settled south of Brethil in the First Age     did.  This strongly implies they were Gwathuirim.
    Tolkien says in the Gwathlo essay (published in UNFINISHED TALES in     the appendix to "Of the History of Galadriel and Celeborn" that there     were a few secretive hunter folk still living in Minhiriath's woods     at the end of the Third Age (probably close to the river and/or the     sea, since most of Minhiriath was open plains).  The story of the     Great Plague given in Appendix A to THE LORD OF THE RINGS implies     that Minhiriath suffered more than other parts of Cardolan, so some     people may have survived in the South Downs, or maybe the implication     just refers to Tharbad.
9)  Tharbad was a Numenorean port, but it seems probable there were some     Gwathuirim who settled there, and that they mingled with the Dunedain.
