OTL Map Thread Mk IV., 2014-

I find that random bit of South Dakota that was presumably majority Native American at that point more interesting than anything else there really.
It still is.

Hey guys, I'm working on a thing! Zoom in for amazing detail; the resolution here is down to 30 arcseconds, translating to one pixel covering 860,556 square meters at the equator. In the end it'll be a Koppen climate map covering the entire planet. Right now I'm putting in the E type climates.

That's....

That's quite literally too big to be used as a world map.

It might be useful for very large scale climate maps of individual countries/states what have you however.

Interesting. Will you be making a blank map?

I noticed that there was a worlda topographic map with some missing bits in Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Japan and most of Oceania. I never found the complete version and even in the wiki there was only the incomplete version, so I decided to complete it myself by wasting too much time in paint and google images.

Thanks for effort, we should use contributions like this to update the wiki

I don't mean to sound rude, because I very much like your update but it there a reason why there is still a large portion of Greenland and Antarctica left undone? Or do we still not have good enough data to work off of to complete those?
 
The answer depends greatly on whether you can accept ice cap height or want land height. If the latter do you want to factor in the bounce back from the ice cap weight not being present.

Those are the parts covered by ice. Especially in Greenland's case, the areas covered by ice are under the sea level, and I thought it looked too confusing.

Scuse the jpg, but I made a thing today!

EDIT: Un-jpg'd it. Now it should be much more easily editable.

A thing I just found and finished. The municipalities of New Jersey.

Red = City
Orange = Town
Beige = Borough or Village
Green = Township

After countless hours correcting borders, updating coastlines, and recoloring countries, I present to you...
Hadaril's Updated OTL Worlda Maps

The majority of my time was spent updating a lot of the older OTL maps to the current blank Worlda, which meant fixing coastlines and fixing country fills accordingly. Additionally, the maps for 1000, 1115, and 1200 got a face-lift by updating them to the current version of the Ancient RCS color scheme. On top of that, the 1500 and 1650 maps were completely redone, as they were in dire need of repair (Wrong Worlda blank map, HRE borders were extremely distorted, especially the french/HRE border and those of Bohemia and Austria) - if you notice any flaws with the new editions, please, please, please let me know. Without further ado, here are the maps.
Note: I was not able to fully update every Worlda map in existence - some were simply too far gone (anyone else remember when we used rectangular base maps? Truly a barbaric era...)
