Good morning, MAPS_Lers-

 

Angie, are what we see in those maps medieval strip fields? Or are they evidence of later farming? Either way, very nifty blog post.

Hi Angie,

 

This is a cool set of maps! I had the pleasure of working with an archaeological team in a little valley in Dalmatia where the major hydrologic reshaping took place in the 1950s, but unfortunately I don’t know about the chronology of that kind of work in Slavonia.

 

This may not be of any direct help, but the Državne geodetske uprave (State Geodetic Administration) geoportal (https://geoportal.dgu.hr/) is a fun resource to explore for anyone interested in the area. The language can be toggled to English on the right-side menu (look for the EN button). One of the basemaps is an aerial orthophoto from 1968 (very cool), and zooming in to 1:5,000 displays the current parcel data. Clicking the menu icon (upper-right corner) brings up more options: notably, “data and services” has some general information about the digital cadastral map (DKP), which is accessible by WMS to registered users (though I haven’t checked it out myself!).

 

Best,

Becky

If you need a short distraction, I wrote a little blog about a recent cataloging effort.

by Angie Cope Recently I’ve been cataloging a back log of maps from Eastern Europe. If you’re familiar with the AGS Library’s situation, all our maps are cataloged – in an old fashioned card …
