Mar 11, 2025Hi Coach.
I have uploaded an old map of historical states and regions in Europe, and :
I also have uploaded an old map of historical regions from year 1806 in Asia.
Both maps are in the public domain released to public as CC-SA 4 and are free to use.
One map is from 1806 in England and the other is from 1667 in the Netherlands.
I hope you let these stay up and that you find the Geography appealing.
I was limited by resolution so I had to upload the lower resolution version for the map of Asia.
Everyone I hope nobody is bothered by this and that all of you might enjoy looking at these old maps from more than 200 years ago.

- MEMemberOriginal PosterMar 27, 2025My bad. I said they were CC- SA 4 licensed. But, they really are in thepublic domainbecause they are more than 100 years old and no copyright or other licensing attached. The map of Europe is by Willem Blaeu in the 17th Century, and the Asia map is by the mapmaker "Cary." Take care.ReactReply
