Welcome! This site lets you upload an aerial photo, field sketch or map extract and overlay it onto a modern map. There are 4 steps:

  1. Upload an image file (JPG or PNG) from your hard drive (if it's not too large)
  2. Crop any white space or margins
  3. Tag it — at least 3 locations, then ...

Zoom, Stretch, Rotate, Scale!

We'll load it onto a modern map and you can rubbersheet it to fit.

Sub-Notes
  1. Time spent determining the exact corners will guide how close our initial fit is.
  2. If you put the corner in as a trench map reference, such as 57c.J.16.b.3.1, then we will calculate the latitude and longitude for you.
