🌍 The mapping of Africa has always fascinated us here at The Map House, and that is one of the reasons why we have such a large collection of maps of the African continent (784 currently on our website!) But, have you ever seen a map that visualises the mapping of Africa? 🗺✏ • This map shows the progress of exploration and subsequently the knowledge to map the geography of Africa. It was published by The Royal Geographical Society (@RGS_IGB) in 1911. Areas coloured dark red have been well surveyed, while uncoloured areas are still "entirely unknown." • Swipe to see key to colouring 🔎🗺 or visit themaphouse.com to see our collection and the history of mapping in Africa. • #raremaps #antiquemaps #terraincognito #dataviz #infographic #data #africa #geography #progress #maps #exploration #knowledge #map
