World map in 1797
On 1 July 1797, IntMap’s historical map draws 425 names within the world. The borders for this date come from OpenHistoricalMap (day by day), then Cliopatria, Seshat Global History Databank (by year), then historical-basemaps — each drawn only where the records before it are silent. The map also draws 12 outlines here that the source gives no name.
