This page is an archive of unfilled maps requests dating from before the Map workshop went active. Please make new requests directly to the Map workshop. Requests listed here do still need maps and may and should be brought forward to the Map workshop to be worked on. Once a request has been completed please delete it from this page.

Individual articles

• Seattle. Image:Seattle_map.png is a fine base, but the creator hasn't been seen on Wikipedia since late 2004 and never finished it. Could really use someone with local expertise to update and add many more points of interest or simply recreate, adding some major arterials and freeways in the process? In the meantime, Seattle lacks a good map, which is a shame. Thanks! --Lukobe 07:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
• New York Legislature- map of current Senate and Assembly districts with district numbers and if possible with partisan control
• Portes du Soleil
• Abitibi County, Quebec
• Bondi Beach
• Tiananmen Square's location in Beijing China. Additionally Cao Rulin's house in relation to Tiananmen Square and the May 4th Movement. Waarmstr 18:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• A map of the world in 1837. - for what article? there is a public domain one here from 1840, but I don't know if that's what you're looking for.Kmusser 14:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Let me clarify. I'm doing a blank world map showing the borders at the start of Queen Victoria's reign. Her reign began in 1837. Something like this would be great.

• National Auto Trail
• Circumferential Highway (Nashua) Needs a map showing: Currently completed route and proposed routing(s). Information for the proposed routing can be found in the references section of said article. --Jayron32 05:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
• Via Valeria - the article gives specific geographical information, which isn't really comprehensible without a historical map. --Wetman 19:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
• Spanish Texas - I'd like to base a map on this map, showing the boundaries of Spanish Texas. Karanacs (talk) 17:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Tax haven
• Indiana Territory showing the changes in boundaries more clearly the transfer that occurred in 1803 and to a lesser degree that of 1816. Image:Indianaterr.PNG somewhat oversimplifies the eastern boundary transfer in 1803 -- in addition to the gore that was transferred from Ohio to Indiana, a relatively narrow strip north of Fort Recovery was transferred from Indiana to Ohio. older ≠ wiser 14:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
• Iloilo International Airport airport layout map. I found the following sources as to how this map can be based: pages 6-8 of the ILO aerodome chart and the pictures in this directory (the pictures concerned begin with the word "Airport"). --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 04:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
• Calvinism in Europe. P.S. Can I make a map by myself? What's the system? Thanks...Amiens984 (talk) 22:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
• Cities of the ancient Near East which is a list of sites in Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Egypt etc with geo coordinates. Is there anyway to, say, autoplot the coordinates of a section onto a background? The section most ready for a map is Cities_of_the_Ancient_Near_East#Lower_Mesopotamia. Technically this may be a "map improvement" as there is a current almost impossible to read map.Ploversegg (talk) 23:48, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Improvement requests

• List of Philadelphia neighborhoods could use more specific maps showing approximate neighborhood locations w/in sections. See Neighborhoods of Chicago for example. Passdoubt 21:18, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Black Death, a map of the spread of the plague (using arrows or colors) would be great, and they seem to be common in all of the books I have read.--Dmcdevit 20:43, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I think Image:Bubonic plague map.PNG covers this nicely. ¦ Reisio 01:51, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
  • That map is already included in the article. I believe the requestor was looking for a map similar to this one showing global spread. --NormanEinstein 13:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
• Muslim History: Image:Ayyubid.png could badly use some attention. Someone ambitious could do it for all of commons:Category:Maps_of_the_Caliphate. commons:Category:Maps of the history of the Middle East has some good examples.

Re-creation requests

Batch requests

The following are lists of articles which could use maps created in a systematic fashion.

Countries

• I've checked through the list of countries to see that all country articles have 1.) a locator map that shows the position of the country in the world, appearing in the country's infobox at the top of the article, on the right, and 2.) some sort of general orientation map showing major cities, major landforms, boundaries with neighboring countries, etc. These may also show internal political divisions (e.g. provinces) major transportation features, such as roads, rail lines, canals, rivers, and airports, if scale allows. The maps in the CIA World Factbook (barely) satisfy the second requirement, and are public domain, so these could easily be deployed to fill in many gaps. Country maps may also be hidden on that country's subarticles, or elsewhere on the project. These articles are important because the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team is creating offline versions of the encyclopedia based on them. User:Blofeld of SPECTRE has recwently created many of the missing ones at User:Blofeld of SPECTRE/Missing locator maps.-- Beland 22:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Transnistria - Locator map shows position in Moldovia, due to disputed status.
  • San Marino - Could use a map showing its relationship to Italian cities.
  • Seychelles - Needs general map.
  • Singapore - Needs general map, especially showing names of nearby countries.
  • Spain - Needs general map.
  • Turkey - Needs general map.
  • United Kingdom - It would be nice to replace the CIA general map with a better one that showed the boundaries of the Home Nations.
  • United States - General map does not show the names of major cities, nor names of neighboring countries. Also, the location of Hawaii in the world is not clear, and important territories like Puerto Rico are missing.
  • Vatican City - Could use a map detailing its location in Rome and Italy.
  • Wallis and Futuna - Needs general map.

Unrecognized countries

• It would be useful to check to see what entities on the list of unrecognized countries and related articles don't yet have maps. -- Beland 19:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Country subdivision maps

The list of country subdivisions is missing maps (and indeed, missing articles) for many countries. -- Beland 19:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

United States Municipalities

Coordinated on User:Seth Ilys/Dot Project.

Canada

• Past Canadian electoral districts (including historical provincial, territorial and colonial-era) (Example: Coast Chilcotin) Skookum1 07:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
• WikiProject British Columbia is looking for many maps that are listed here. KenWalker | Talk 21:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Wars

• General maps
  • Resources and industrial capacities in WWI and WWII
  • It would be great if someone took on the task to create a map of where different FARC fronts are active. The fronts and their locations where they are active can be found under FARC-EP Chain of Command by looking at each individual bloc.

(Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history/Requests#world_war_2_building_capacities)

• Wars where territory changed hands, e.g.:
  • Battle of Muret
  • Indian Wars (currently only external images)
  • Merge: Image:Huns empire.png and Image:Invasions of the Roman Empire 1.png to replace of Image:450 roman-hunnic-empire 1764x1116.jpg
  • Replace Image:Rome carthage 218.jpg with a new map showing the independence of Syphax and Hannibals conquest north of the Ebro in Second Punic War
  • Map for the course of the Second Punic War take this as an example but show also Roman/Carthaginian allies in Northern Italy, and along the coast + loss of Carthaginian possessions north of the Ebro
• Battles of tactical significance - tactical maps would be great.
  • Battle of Ichi-no-Tani
  • Battle of Dan-no-ura
  • Battles of Kawanakajima (fourth battle)
  • Battle of Nagashino
  • Roman-Spartan War (showing the movment of troops)
• And Treaties and Peaces:
  • Treaty of Corbeil (1258)

Reservations

Almost none of the articles on Native American reservation have maps. See Category:American Indian reservations.

Explorers

None of the Age of Discovery explorers have maps! Not even Christopher Columbus! It would be incredibly useful for someone to to make maps of where they went, and perhaps maps of the world with all explorers from a certain time period. However, this is truly a batch request because they all need to be consistant. Don't do only one.

Category: Explorers should give you a place to start. If anyone has a concern, I'm HereToHelp (talk) 13:20, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
