I used approximately 20 control points and a spline transformation to fit this digitized historical map to current day aerial photography of Macao, China.
The map was originally created by James Cook and published posthumously in 1785. I downloaded the map from the David Rumsey collection.
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed a quarter of the city, and most of the business district. This map shows the origin and extent of the fire, city boundaries in 1869 and 1890, and surviving landmarks built prior to 1871 and between 1871-1890.
