Abstract
Historical maps store abundant and valuable information about the evolution of natural features and human activities, such as changes in hydrography, the development of the railroad networks, and the expansion of human settlements. Such knowledge represents a unique resource that can be extremely useful for researchers in the social and natural sciences to better understand how human and environment have evolved over time. Fortunately, a large amount of historical maps have been scanned in high resolution by many organizations. For example, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) has scanned and released more than 200,000 historical maps in the TIFF format.
