Ancient Geographical Systems by William Smith in 1874 - Herodotus, Ptolemy, Hecataeus, Eratosthenes World Maps indian ocean published by Ordnance SurveyThis wonderful old map of ancient Geographical Systems was originally published in 1874. It was created by William Smith. This map is composed of twelve separate maps that reflect the visions of different philosophers, polymaths and geographers throughout the last few thousand years. This map shows that cartography didn't really exist back then, with most countries having a wildly inaccurate shape, and North and South America have yet to be explored.
