Hey #Oakland & #Berkeley: I #georeferenced the 1854 Julius Kellersberger "#Map of the Ranchos of Vicente and Domingo #Peralta" using #QGIS. I've exported a 300dpi (zoomable) image of it with some transparency and a modern #OpenStreetMap base map, so you can see how it relates to the modern world.
I will write a blog post about it, with zoomed-in sections, but for now, a few observations:
* There are some very old roads.
* Why the streets and neighborhoods are cattywampus.
* Domingo's home (cordornices) is a landmark, as is Vicente's preserve.
* The brothers had a road between their homes, mostly gone, but traces remain. Vicente Way at Claremont Ave is the beginning.

#Vogelenzang in North Holland was the site of the 5th World Scout Jamboree, held in 1937, which brought together 28,750 Scouts and Guides from all over the world.
I guess that I picked this old map up clearing old paperwork out of our Scout hut 45 or more years ago and it's been in amongst my old maps ever since.
