I have, over the years, trawled the internet to find Q-Bam basemaps to use and have even created my own.
To save others that trouble I have collected the ones I consider the best together here for anyone to use.
Remember Q-Bams come in variable sizes, to minimize this I am displaying only those of the complete world, even so there are two sizes- 4974 x 2519 and 4974 x 2517 so potentially, these will not neccesarily match up. The First post below contains the most up to date version- this will not necessarily match up with older versions.
I have therefore included the INTERNAL dimensions of the map.
There are specific Threads for various aspects of the Q-Bam worthy of a visit if you have not already:-
the-q-bam-improvement-and-core-thread- improvement and refinement of the Q-bam including modern borders.
q-bam-historical-map-thread- basemaps for specific years and periods.
q-bam-borderpool-improvement-and-core-thread- basemaps showing exactly where historic borders should run.
Urhafah-universal-historical-atlas-for-alternate-historians- a standardized atlas of the world to include political, cultural and linguistic data.
All of the authors have given permission for their maps to be used and I recommend anyone to visit their collections [link in posts].
PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT MOST OF THE FOLLOWING WERE MADE BEFORE THE Q-BAM WAS IMPROVED AND MAY NOT MATCH UP PRECISELY [ESPECIALLY THE RIVERS]
