Yep, though it is sometimes hard to find exactly 1914 maps of regions, some of from wikicommons, but they have a bit fat lines of 2nd lvl, also sometimes they simplified, that makes it inaccurate in some places, but I'm double-checking, so will see the results
Yea there is also some resevoirs there that I think didn't exist yet in 1914. What is your source for the lake that will eventually become Tsimlyansk reservoir?
Looks really good for a WIP tho, once the base map is done I will provide some historical patches for the Caspian coastline for you

2# Patch for unofficial HEART addon:
- Russian Baltics
- Wilno Governorate
- Vitebsk Governorate
- Grodno Governorate
- Bessarabian Governorate / Dniestr river need double-check***
- Grand Duchy of Finland (need double-check)
- All of Malorossiya & Novorossiya (Ukraine territories) / Chernigov Governorate need double-check*** / Dnieper river need double-check***
- Some little fixes of subdivision's borders
Just for remind: this addon is in constant progress, that is, with each patch, the borders will probably constantly change, since I sometimes notice inaccuracies in the process of drawing neighboring regions! If someone wants to help, I have severe difficulties in the north and, possibly, in Siberia

You don't need to call it unofficial btw, this is its own map using the HEART basemap

For the sake of time no, I might add them later when the entire base map is done or someone else can add them instead
I have also stopped doing glaciers for the time being for the same reason
Here is my first contribution: Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The Upper Peninsula has made me hate the ice ages already.
Also @JG Online, my Ohio river isn't quite the same as yours, although on a broad scale it still mostly aligns. Is this an expected result of different tracing techniques? I hope there isn't a flaw in my process somehow. I've been importing the shapefiles directly into g-projector using the "import overlay" function.

It's a bit problematic as now our patches can't be merged
Honestly the shapefile methode is probably better than the way I have been doing it, Are you using the QuickOSM plugin?
If so are you importing the natural->water layer? I believe there should be a few rivers visible in your patch
The way I have been doing it is using the QuickOSM plugin to import administrative and natural features which I then export as an image, I then align those in paint.net to an upscaled 8K-BAM, which I then convert into robinson using g-projector, which I then trace for HEART 🤔
Yes I am using QuickOSM.
I just haven't gotten to the rivers yet.
The method I'm using entirely circumvents the paint.net aligning step, which I couldn't really get the hang of. If you export a layer from qgis as a shapefile, then import that shapefile into g-projector using File -> Import Overlay, and then select it as an overlay, it automatically generates a map in the desired projection.
Surely this is more accurate since it avoids the human error and resolution loss inherent in resizing onto the 8k-bam.
Unfortunately this means the entire map so far is probably off to some degree if people have been using the alignment method 😬
You are right which is why the map has a 4 pixel error margin, honestly I didn't know about the shapefiles methode so non of the current patched have used it
3# Patch for HEART addon:
- Minsk Governorate
- Mogivel Governorate
- Saint Petersburg Governorate (needs triple-check!!!)
- Pskov Governorate
- German Empire included in this addon

To be clear: I post these patches here so often that someone can quickly see and tell me if something is very inaccurate, I hope I don't annoy with the frequency of posting xd
