This new map image joins all 16 separate sheets of Paris to show the entire city as one map. Here the 16 Flinders Australia charts are joined and overlaid on the general chart to show how all the charts fit together.īaron Haussmann published these 16 separate maps of Paris in 1868 to show his proposed new boulevards that would transform Paris into a modern metropolis. Matthew Flinders' 16 charts published in 1814 were among the first to map the coast line of Australia. The joined sheets give a complete view of the Nile and its huge delta.ĭetail of the Atlas of Egypt sheets showing the original Nile river course underneath Lake Nasser.
The 165 separate sheets of the 1914 Atlas of EgyptĪll 165 sheets of the Atlas of Egypt joined. We combined all 165 sheets, georeferenced them, and overlaid them on modern maps below to show changes. The 1914 Atlas of Egypt shows the entire Nile River in 165 sheets at a large scale of 1:50,000. To date we have created 1,674 interpretive composite maps, views, and texts as well as over 56,000 georeferenced maps.Ĭlick on any of the images below to view the interactive online version. Below are some examples of these interpretive maps that we have created over the past 20 years.
To do this, we create composite maps, georeferenced maps, composite views, interactive globes, composite texts and other types of digital versions that expand map interpretation and enhance use.
But we also create the potential to repurpose these copies to advance understanding of the original maps. When we digitize historical maps we create copies that can be shared and used by all.
