World map in 1821
On 1 July 1821, IntMap’s historical map draws 444 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 6 outlines here that the source gives no name.
