North York Moors Historical Map Project

The North York Moors Historical Map Project is an initiative that aims to digitally compile and analyze historical maps of the North York Moors region. By digitizing old maps and overlaying them with current geographic data, the project provides insights into how the landscape, settlements, and land use have evolved over time. This resource supports researchers, planners, and the public in understanding the area's historical development, preserving cultural heritage, and informing future conservation efforts. It combines cartography, history, and digital technology to make historical geographic information accessible and engaging.
