Queens was once dappled with ponds and streams that vanished as the borough grew. John F. Kennedy Intl. Airport—originally Idlewild—is a prime example of how massive infrastructure permanently reshaped the borough's natural waterscape.

A 1742 city plan of Edinburgh, including the infamous. Once a defensive moat, then a dumping ground, and eventually transformed into one of the city’s most scenic spots. Imagine the smell back then! #EdinburghHistory #edinburgh #OldEdinburgh #HistoricMaps #ScottishHistory 🪬🧿
A historic black-and-white map of Edinburgh from 1742, showing detailed street layouts and landmarks. The Nor Loch, a large body of water once used for defense and waste disposal, is prominently displayed north of the Old Town. Edinburgh Castle is visible on the left, overlooking the city’s dense medieval streets. The map is highly detailed, with ornate coats of arms and decorative typography at the top.

Taiwan in a German atlas from 1899. Despite being published under Japanese rule, it still uses Qing-era names. Changhua appears as “Tschang-wha-h,” while modern Taichung is labelled “Tai-wan-fu.”

What else can you spot?
