Does anyone have links or anything to some old maps? I'm looking for anything after A.D. 1 to to A.D. 1500.

It depends if you want "old maps" for the look of them, or modern maps of an what an area looked like in that time period, or old maps for historical significance. :D

Here's some nice old maps, I'm not sure of the time period though: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/Ptolemy_World_Map.jpg

Here's a whole site with modern maps of areas in that time period: http://pazhayathu.blogspot.com/2011/10/maps-of-kerala-in-world-map-from-600-bc.html

Let me know if those help. :)

Joe, I have one map I found somewhere on the internet that is really cool; it's a map of America made in the 1700s:

Wow! That is epic! I had to stare at it for a while before realizing that it is North America before all of it was discovered!

I have an entire book full of maps from the Atlas Maior 1665! They're beautiful! Sadly I can't scan any for you, but if you google Atlas Maior you'll find some good ones :)

*stares at North America map in awe* Wow. I feel like I just had a trip on a time machine.
For not having satellites or anything, they got it pretty close!
And look at those perfect letters! Those were done by hand!
Wow.

Where I live isn't even there! :shock:
I'm in the Unexplored Area there, and I suspect Azlyn is too.
