Title: Charta öfver Finska viken med däromkring belägne provincier, 1788 (Raster Image)
Contributors:- Raster data
- 2019
Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Charta öfver Finska viken med däromkring belägne provincier : efter de bästa chartor och astronomiska observationer. It was published by: Landtmäteri contoiret in 1788. Scale approximately 1:1 100 000 ; 10 svenska mil = 9.7 cm. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the WGS 1984 UTM Zone 35N (EPSG: 32635) coordinate system. All map features and collar and inset information are shown as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of geographies, originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.

Title: Mapping Rome
Contributors:- Not specified
- 2021
Summary: This collection of digitized cartographic and historic data pertains to the city of Rome, Italy. Included within are assets such as the “Nolli Map” (La Pianta Grande di Roma) of 1748. Associated with this map are a number of related cartographic assets: (a) 1320 indexed sites or “Nolli Points,” which are numerical keys associated with specific sites in the city; (b) the polygonal outlines of buildings on Nolli’s map; (c) the polygonal outlines of landscape features such as vineyards, parks, villas found on Nolli’s map; (d) the polygonal outlines of the historical neighborhoods of Rome, known as rioni; and (e) the polygonal outline of the Tiber River flowing through the city.

Title: Africa (Raster Image)
Contributors:- Raster data
- 2013
Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of an historic continental map of Africa created by Adolf Gräf, and published by the Georgraphisches Institut in the 19th century. Due to the discoveries noted on the map, it was probably published between 1867-1881. All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, or other information associated with the principal map. This map was georeferenced by the Stanford University Geospatial Center using a Sinusoidal projection. This map is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps of Africa at Stanford University Libraries. This historic paper map provides an historical perspective of the cultural and physical landscape during this time period. The wide range of information provided on these maps make them useful in the study of historic geography. As this map has been georeferenced, it also can be used as a background layer in conjunction with other GIS data. The horizontal positional accuracy of a raster image is approximately the same as the accuracy of the published source map. The lack of a greater accuracy is largely the result of the inaccuracies with the original measurements and possible distortions in the original paper map document. There may also be errors introduced during the digitizing and georeferencing process. In most cases, however, errors in the raster image are small compared with sources of error in the original map graphic. The RMS error for this map is 3067.37 meters. This value describes how consistent the transformation is between the different control points (links). The RMS error is only an assessment of the accuracy of the transformation.

Title: (Composite Map) (Facsimile) Rocque's Map of London. 1746 (Raster Image)
Contributors:- Raster data
- 2018
Summary: This raster layer is a georeferenced image of a map titled "Composite Map: (Facsimile) Rocque's Map of London. 1746." Published in 1919, this composite map is considered one of the best facsimiles of the original Rocque Map ("A plan of the cities of London and Westminster, and borough of Southwark"), created by John Rocque and first published in 1746. A scanned version of this map available from The David Rumsey Map Collection was georeferenced by the Kindred London mapping project. The broad goal of the Kindred London project is to create four digitized road networks from four historic maps of London that will be used for an online, interactive web platform that will allow users to experience what it would have been like to travel the streets of London.
