The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

[Oliveia]

And speaking of Dutch Cape Colony, here is a map with internal divisions back in 1795:

I do believe they should be the same only two decades prior, so I found stuff to add to the Cape Colony if you want!

Also, I do believe the Chinese border had changed by 1861:

note the dotted red line.

Is there a 2017 map with Chinese provinces?

Is there a 2017 map with Chinese provinces?

Not yet. The old worlda series has it, though, if you dig deep enough.

I've been looking at the late-19th and early 20th century maps for reasons totally unrelated to a TL that I am totally not currently writing, and I keep seeing a country in the south of what is currently Saudi Arabia, just north of Yemen. I can't find any reference to what it is.

Can anyone explain? Is it the Banu Yam, or something to do with Najran? Is it an exiled Saudi state?

Is there by any chance a blank WorldA map with subdivisions? Something like this one but without any colored nations.

Not yet with this revision series, but the old series (should be on the wiki) has internal divisions

How does one make the striped diagonal lines? Is there a tutorial somewhere for this?

usually a paintbucket thing in paint.net, which is often used for pixel maps here

Thanks, got a similar tool for PS?

Wouldn't know.

Does anyone have a NextGen Worlda with latitude/longitude lines?

I believe it is Asir

I believe it is Asir

Thing it, Asir appears in a later map, but the country I am thinking of is still on that map. It's the blob with an Ottoman outline immediately below the larger white blob next to Ottoman Hedjaz. It appears again in this map, and in this map.

Oh! Okay. Yes. I vaguely remember when it was first being drawn. I believe it is Najran.

I think the modern US state borders in the original 13 states need to be redrawn along with some ocean borders in Georgia and the Carolinas because they are very inaccurate.

Also, the Sokoto Caliphate's a bit inaccurate? I don't really know how accurate one can make it, but I've seen most maps show this sort of shape:

I think I unintentionally showed them in order of preciseness...

As for Borno, I found this:

I believe that map above is supposed to be around the early 1800s (1805, maybe?)
Hope you get back to the worlda mapmaking!

Hi All,
Love this update of the basemaps.
A contribution from myself;
1700 & 1776- Cape Colony re-coloured to Dutch

1803 & 1806 - new maps for during Napoleonic Wars

1812- change of Saxon borders- previous showed 1815 border

A typo, it seems, in the corner of this map. You said 1803 and 1806, but both say 1803. I'm guessing the change on this one was missed.

Those are two different projections. Have you adjusted "the real US" projection to map onto the projection used in the worlda maps?
