As you examine it closely, you will notice that the modern hillshade and the future sea level rise don’t always align perfectly with the vintage map. Shorelines shift, wetlands are filled, docks and piers come and go. Hillsides are excavated for quarries or freeways, dams are built and valleys flooded. Surveying techniques have become more precise, and landscapes more accurately documented in modern cartographic data. Many of these differences can be seen in every map, and can be fascinating to observe.
