Historical maps

Maps have always fascinated me. They represent adventure and seeking knowledge as we travel into unknown territory. World history can be traced along the contours of the landmasses and oceans as we advanced our understanding of the planet in all it's diversity. This web site provides us a collection of maps that display our path to knowledge and the inevitable mistakes and misunderstandings that come from exploration.
