Black Octopus is still stretching its tentacles. I haven't seen this map from 1904 before.

2/ Good article by Alex Spencer for the #CambridgeIndependent on the #mapmaking choices & which layers to show: https://www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/map-that-s-a-one-stop-shop-for-cambridge-history-9343254/
"Cambridge is probably the most intensively dug city in the country" (UK). Recent archaeology has informed a long-awaited map showing some of the layers: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-67497550

Today's crafty submission for the #30DayMapChallenge. I upcycle jars with historical topographic maps from various sources. This is from a USGS 1:62,500-scale Quadrangle for Charleston, WV 1936.

So today i had a strange revelation which has the potential for a PSA in #gischat : while our #mapcache powered #wmts for #historicalmap in Hessen has worked from the start in #qgis i have received reports from #arcmap users (v10) that they could not use the service. It was showing the notorious red exclamation mark. Not being #opensource there was no way to determine the reason it failed. Turns out it was a colon in the scale (1:25.000) in the metadata title Tag. IMHO a tale to #switch2qgis
