Line 236:

Not completely unskilled with QGIS I am trying to georeference a map with Paris Meridian, several of that series [https://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:IMG-VD5O2MZP/e5124bf7-998f-41f8-ba9e-419e4899cf80/PDF]. Thought I know how to do that, it works fine with maps with Ferro Meridian. Can anyone give me a hint here? The correct EPSG?--[[User:Antemister|Antemister]] ([[User talk:Antemister|talk]]) 08:14, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

;Request:

: Would love to have a new version of this map which is hard to read in current form but very important for study of antebellum US south. The original map is trying to cover everything about slavery but would love to just have a map that includes the main land and sea routes, as depicted here, with two additions:

* An additional land route running from Richmond Va through Georgia (Macon?) to Tallahassee

* Two additional sea routes, both start from New Orleans: one to Galveston, and one to Mobile

Notes:

* Don't need the routes of ''[[La Amistad]]'' or the [[Creole mutiny]] ship

* Key rivers it would be helpful to include: [[Mississippi River]], [[Ohio River]], [[Tennessee River]], [[Apalachicola River]] (with [[Chattahoochee River]] extension?), [[Savannah River]], [[Missouri River]], [[Red River of the South]], [[Alabama River]] (with [[Coosa River]] extension?), [[Cumberland River]], [[Arkansas River]], and maybe [[Potomac River]]

* please include boundaries of the 15 slave states using current boundaries: [[Delaware]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Maryland]], [[South Carolina]], [[Virginia]], [[North Carolina]], [[Kentucky]], [[Tennessee]], [[Louisiana]], [[Mississippi]], [[Alabama]], [[Missouri]], [[Arkansas]], [[Florida]], and [[Texas]]

* Key cities it would be helpful to include: [[Baltimore]], [[Washington DC]], [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]] (Va), [[Norfolk]] (Va), [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]], [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]], [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], [[Nashville]], [[St. Louis]], [[New Orleans]], [[Natchez, Mississippi|Natchez]] (Miss), [[Galveston]], [[Mobile, Alabama|Mobile]], [[Tallahassee]], [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]] (Ky), [[Louisville, Kentucky|Louisville]] (Ky), [[Pensacola]],

* Please label [[Chesapeake Bay]] and [[Gulf of Mexico]] if there is room

Minor notes:

* please do not include Atlanta (Ga) as it basically didn't exist yet. key Georgia cities if there is room were Macon, Augusta, and Columbus

* key Alabama cities if there is room: Huntsville, Tuscumbia, Montgomery

* key NC cities if there is room: New Bern, Charlotte, Wilmington

* other lower Mississippi locations of minor importance: Baton Rouge, Louisiana & Vicksburg, Mississippi

* feel free to any other cities you see from the map, state capitals etc.

* Bonus non-essential locations: Appalachian mountain range, ___location of Cumberland Gap, Cuba, Bahamas, Amelia Island
