Magnificent Map/ Location Resource

If you are looking for ‘lost places’ in Europe and do not know what ‘ever became of them’, you will likely find this tool helpful. I have to say that I think it is simply astonishing. The tool itself is called “Mapire”. According to their website:

Arcanum Adatbázis Kft [Mapire owner firm] has been leading the digitisation, georeferencing and development of the software to visualise […] maps on different systems.

• Austrian State Archives as the owner of the first and second military surveys
• Hungarian National Archives as the owner of Hungarian cadastral maps
• Government Office of the Capital City Budapest (legal successor of the Institute of Geodesy, Cartography and Remote Sensing) as the owner and the guardian of the
• Hungarian cadastral maps
• Croatian State Archives as the owner of Croatian cadastral maps
• Hungarian War Archives as the owner of the third military survey
• City Archives of Budapest as the owner of the maps of Budapest
• Arcanum Adatbázis Kft as the developer and operator of the project
• Department of Geophysics and Space Science, ELTE as the scientific background
• Gábor Timár PhD Scientific advisor

In scientific papers this webpage and its content [is referenced in] the following publications.

The Mapire site may be found here.

To my mind their most intriguing and useful service (tool) is the Synchronized maps.

In addition to Synchronized Maps, other Mapire collections available include:

• Maps of Europe
• City maps
• Country maps
• Cadastral maps
• Thematic maps
