Try a scanned 1858 Walling map or a close-up of Chilmark. The viewer reduces very large scans for speed; keep your original separately.

0 points

Click a known feature on the old map, then click that same location on the modern map. Repeat at least 3 times with spread-out landmarks.

Upload a historical image to start matching landmarks.

After 3 points, the historical map is warped onto the base layer. Additional points locally adjust the image around each landmark.
