The latter were intended as navigational aids and warnings for future navigators. Naming or describing a geographic feature is a method of distinguishing it from the surrounding topography. At times some topographic descriptors have been considered or interpreted as toponyms. This article explores whether there are any means of determining the difference between the two, and what may have been initially intended by the explorers who entered them on their manuscript charts. Reasons for the relevance of making such a distinction are also considered.

Lessons learned from using historical maps to create a digital gazetteer of historical places / Mark Polczynski in International journal of cartography, vol 8 n° 3 (November 2022)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of cartography > vol 8 n° 3 (November 2022) . - pp 326 - 342 Titre : Lessons learned from using historical maps to create a digital gazetteer of historical places Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Mark Polczynski, Auteur ; Michael Polczynski, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 326 - 342 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique [Termes IGN] carte ancienne [Termes IGN] données anciennes [Termes IGN] géodatabase [Termes IGN] géoréférencement [Termes IGN] répertoire toponymique [Termes IGN] site historique [Termes IGN] système d'information historique Résumé : (auteur) The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to new and inexperienced gazetteer builders, especially those constructing a digital gazetteer of historical places using historical maps, and in particular those building a gazetteer as a means to an end of answering specific research questions vs. those building a gazetteer as an end in itself to be used by the general research community. In support of this target audience, the following is an accumulation of lessons learned while using historical maps to create digital gazetteers of historical places. The lessons cover gazetteer planning, design, and construction issues. As an overview of how to use historical maps to create a digital gazetteer of historical places, this document can provide new and inexperienced gazetteer builders with starting points for in-depth study of these and associated issues. An example gazetteer is provided to illustrate the lessons covered here.

Using converted WW1 Army Grid Referencing Systems to identify locations where Australian soldiers fell Europe / Rodney Deakin in International journal of cartography, vol 8 n° 3 (November 2022)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of cartography > vol 8 n° 3 (November 2022) . - pp 308 - 325 Titre : Using converted WW1 Army Grid Referencing Systems to identify locations where Australian soldiers fell Europe Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Rodney Deakin, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 308 - 325 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Projections [Termes IGN] Australie [Termes IGN] carte ancienne [Termes IGN] carte militaire [Termes IGN] carte topographique [Termes IGN] coordonnées géographiques [Termes IGN] Europe (géographie politique) [Termes IGN] Google Maps [Termes IGN] grille [Termes IGN] guerre [Termes IGN] projection conforme [Termes IGN] projection Universal Transverse Mercator [Termes IGN] transformation de coordonnées [Termes IGN] vingtième siècle Résumé : (auteur) Topographic maps (1:40,000) used by the British Army on the Western Front in World War 1 had a five-part Grid Reference System consisting of: (1) Map Number; (2) Letter-Square – 24 letter squaresA to X on each map; (3) Number-Square – 36 (and sometimes 30) 1000-yard squares in each letter square; (4) Minor-Square – four 500-yard squares denoted a, b, c, d in each number square; (5) Small-Square – 10 × 10 = 100 small-squares in a minor-square. Letter and number grid Woesten references (e.g. X: 28.A.6.b.73) cannot be used by modern GPS navigation devices that require geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) or current map grid coordinates. This paper provides the background behind this project and demonstrates a method of transforming WW1 grid references to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid coordinates using Google Maps to obtain geographical coordinates, Geographic to UTM grid conversion and a 2D Conformal transformation. As well, it provides a ‘snapshot’ of practical methods that were used to develop a software package that would allow amateur military historians to convert the WW1 Grid Reference System to contemporary coordinates.
