    Recreating Cairo, Illinois in 1907 - A Historical Digital Twin [OC!]

    Howdy everybody! While this is nowhere near the end product, I wanted to share a little from a personal project creating a historical digital twin of Cairo, Illinois in 1907 based on Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps.

    Cairo, Illinois is a very unique city between two of the United States' most significant rivers - the Mississippi and the Ohio. At the crossroads of internal waterways, Cairo was a semi-prominent city in the early-1900s, with the Sanborn maps claiming a population of 20k (10-12k more likely). It was also an early Americana literary icon, visited by Mark Twain and immortalized in Huckleberry Finn. However, Cairo also has a dark past, with racial turmoil and strife being recurring themes in the city's story. Even when making these maps, I noticed areas that were once African American neighborhoods completely wiped off the map today.

    Another interesting thing to note is the lack of single use zoning. Almost every block has a grocery store (or equivalent), and many have a church as well. Of course, this was before the rise of modern zoning, so some of this would be difficult to replicate in communities today!

    Yet there's a thought I haven't been able to shake as an urban planner. The scale of this city is unmistakable and the early planners of this community must have had some of the most optimistic minds of an optimistic era in urban planning. Here was a city, with prime position on major waterways (until the death of coal powered shipping), surrounded by fertile agricultural land - but like many cities throughout America, discrimination and conflict may have sealed its fate over coming decades.If planners don't account for all communities within a community, or refuse to accept them into the fabric of the whole, modern efforts could likewise be in vain.

    After seeing the city in person, it is hard to imagine the scale and diversity of this city at the time, but being able to create this has done an exceptional job at putting this into perspective. Regardless, nothing will ever be able to capture the human element of this. Thinking about the lives spent in these buildings - which barely make a dent on the landscape today - makes me wonder how we will be remembered a century from now. I'm happy to do my part with this project to call at least a little attention to the workers, businesses, and residents of Cairo, Illinois from this time!

    Topobathy of Guam
    Topobathy of Guam

    A couple of years back we (at my job) were contracted to do some work that required us to obtain the latest LiDAR topography and bathymetry of Guam. I put together a map of it since I had never had both topographic and bathymetric data to play with at the same time. I can't find the original map, but I do still have this component of it. What I found most fascinating is that the data is so detailed that in the harbor you can find sunken ships and airplanes from World War 2. I think I still have a copy of the data; if so I'll make something more "map porn worthy".

    Birthplaces of WWI Domanski Soldiers Across Partitioned Poland (Heatmap Overlaid on 1770 Commonwealth Borders)
    Birthplaces of WWI Domanski Soldiers Across Partitioned Poland (Heatmap Overlaid on 1770 Commonwealth Borders)

    I’ve been into genealogy for about 10 years now, and like a lot of people, I eventually hit that classic brick wall — for me, it’s around the early 1800s. Once the records run dry, you’re left trying to guess where your ancestors might have come from. Surname distribution maps can help, but most of the ones available today are pretty skewed by everything that happened in the 20th century — wars, displacement, urbanization, and so on.

    So I tried to go further back, to a time when people were likely more rooted in one place. That led me to look at WWI military records — specifically soldiers with the surname Domanski in the Russian, German, and Austro-Hungarian armies. It’s not a huge dataset, but it gives a unique snapshot of where people with that name were born before the chaos of the 20th century changed everything.

    For the context I did overlay the Commonwealth borders of 1770 and the later partitions borders inside.

    1910 Ethnographic Map of Northern Iraq — Published by the Royal Geographical Society

    Map, titled "Ethnographical Map of Eastern Turkey in Asia, Syria, and Western Persia," was published in 1910 by the Royal Geographical Society in London. It shows the ethnic distribution of various groups—Kurds (green), Arabs (yellow), Turks (blue), and Christians (red)—in what is today northern Iraq.

    KWiN (Konfederacja Wolność i Niepodległość, Confederation ) is the far-right party in Poland. As far-right support increases across Europe, Poland is no exception. This set of maps shows how well Metzen, the Confedaration candidate, performed this May in the Presidential Elections. However, he has not won a majority in any Voivodeship.

    Australia, a Gigantic Inheritance(1919)
    Australia, a Gigantic Inheritance(1919)

    This map first appeared in a Japanese magazine in September 1919. Everything suggests that it was originally published by the Australian government to encourage immigration.

    In 1918, Australia had less than five million inhabitants, despite being the fifth-largest country in the world. Following the American model, the Australian government launched a major propaganda campaign to attract people to the new country.

    This map is part of that propaganda campaign. It compares the size of all European countries, showing how their combined area corresponds to only a strip of Australia's coastline. This comparison aims to highlight the great opportunities in a country with a small population (5 million inhabitants) compared to the problems of an overpopulated continent (450 million inhabitants).

    In addition to the territory, the map also makes clear reference to the country's wealth of mineral and agricultural resources, proposing the possibility of achieving a good situation relatively quickly.
