Another historic map which has been georeferenced roughly. The 3D map was made between 1635 and 1700 when the Northern Dutch and the French troops reconguered the city of Tienen in Flanders from the Spanish. Although the city was burned almost completely during the battle, many streets can still be found today. The number of churches and chapels has declined however. Annotations on the map also show the entry ports to the city. A similar drawing (different version) which as dated on 1651 can be found here. To be able to compare different maps, there are two tools on arcgis.com to enable this: a comparison web application or a slider map. Both are available: a comparison between the two historic maps and Bing maps and a slider map between the two historic maps.
