World map, 1875–1876
On 1 July of every year from 1875 to 1876, IntMap’s historical map draws the same 262 names within the world. The borders 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 11 outlines here that the source gives no name.
