For the Sammitiyas/Pudgalavadins see AK Warder Indian Buddhism, page 281 - "much more widespread and vigorous were the Sammitiyas who spread across avanti and gujarat to form their main centre in Sindhu."

For the Sarvastivada see AK Warder Indian Buddhism, page 280; "In the movement north and west, the Sarvastivada maintained establishments in Kosala (Sravasti) and Varanasi as well as Mathura (their main centre at first) but tended to concentrate in Gandhara and Kashmira." For the "Dharmaguptakas...Suvastu valley, north of Gandhara, which became one of their main centers" see AK Warder Indian Buddhism, page 280.}}
