Historic Maps

Historic maps are visual representations created in the past that depict geographic regions, landmarks, and features as they existed at specific times. They serve as valuable records of how places, borders, and landscapes have changed over the years. These maps can reveal historical boundaries, settlements, transportation routes, and natural features, offering insights into cultural and environmental history. Preservation and study of historic maps help us understand historical perspectives, land use, and development patterns, providing context for current geography and planning. They are essential tools for historians, researchers, and those interested in the evolution of places.
