Orthophotography:
Maps record the geographical information that is fundamental to reconstructing past places, whether town, region, or
nation. Historical maps often hold information retained by no other written source,
such as place-names, boundaries, and physical features that have been modifi ed or
erased by modern development. Historical
maps capture the attitudes of those who
made them and represent worldviews of
their time. A map’s degree of accuracy tells
us much about the state of technologyand scientifi c understanding at the time of
its creation.
