China historic maps
15Apr07
Harvard has released a complete GIS dataset of historic maps on China. The data consist of populated places and political boundaries for China proper from 222BC to 1911CE and have all place names in English. Frontier data are available from 19th century onward. There’s also DEM data and background image derived from GTOPO-30. A bit dated, but comes by handy if you just need a quick fix. It can be downloaded for free for academic use.
The wonderful website contains portions of Army map scans and Russian historic maps on China as well.
