Maps

Like many Hosts, I often make use of different scale maps during our gaming sessions, the most consulted one is this battered old map of the centre of New Europa which I constructed from printouts from this website.

It shows Bavaria, the Inner Sea and the numerous (non-canon) principalities and minor states of the Rhineland Provinces where much of the action in our campaign is set. I have another map from the same website which covers the Austro-Hungarian Empire and its neighbouring nations.

For maps of large parts of “the Germanies”, I have recently discovered this site containing maps of the area from just before the Great War.

There are numerous maps of the Major Cities of New Europa available on-line and here are a few which I have found :

VIENNA:

An 1873 city map

A plan of the 1873 Vienna Exposition - the great international exhibition

The environs of Vienna, Prague & Buda-Pest in 1881

PARIS:

An 1869 city map

An 1870 map of Paris and its environs  

An 1871 map of Paris and its surround ings

BERLIN:

An 1875 city map

A colour 1883 city map

MUNICH:

ROME:

GREAT BRITAIN:

Just search this site to find six inch to the mile scale maps

Very detailed maps of Great Britain dated 1888-1913 

I have really good maps of London and Edinburgh from this site.

If Exploration is a Major Theme in your campaign, you might find this page very useful:
