Mapping Imprecision: How to Geocode Data from Inaccurate Historic Maps

Abstract: This paper aims to present and discuss the method of geocoding historical place names from historic maps that cannot be georeferenced in the GIS environment. This concerns especially maps drawn in the early modern period, i.e., before the common use of precise topographic surveys. Such maps are valuable sources of place names and geocoding them is an asset to historical and geographical analyses. Geocoding is a process of matching spatial data (such as place names) with reference datasets (databases, gazetteer… Show more

“…Following log-scaling, we utilized geocoding to pinpoint the geographic locations related to the housing transactions. Geocoding converts addresses into their corresponding positions on the Earth's surface (i.e., latitude and longitude), enabling the mapping and analysis of geographical data [53][54][55]. For the geocoding process, we leveraged the AI•NAVER API from the Naver Cloud Platform to convert the 'ADRES' variable from our base dataset into geographical coordinates.…”
