Progress on the map so far

The Voynich Map of Tuscany - Progress so far - Still working on the roads themselves and the bits in the roads, most are done but some things to finalise. The Possera runs through Bagno, it's central to everything and was the Medici's main base.

Progress Update

I'm working on the maps, it's taken me as long to work out the mapping software as it has to map the bloody 9 circles. On the Castore website that shows all the ancient layers of the maps, there is another section for research, here there is a treasure trove. The Pomarance area alone has 217 of ancient maps. The first map I opened was a floor plan of Rocca Silano, the 2nd was a map of the mineral works just above Bagno, they are so detailed and really beautiful and some came from the Medicis. :-).... The issue I have had, roads have changed over 600 years, finding the old roads is not easy, the rivers however haven't. So I've had to download software, change format of the data, upload it to Google Earth then take each section and add it to mymaps. Then I have to label the rivers and match them to the oldest maps I can find. There are so many layers, so many different eras and bringing those to a current map is taking it's time. I need some help! but I'm plodding along now I have found a way to do it all, just finished fully mapping all the rivers on the right side of the map, the Pavone is the river that connects circle 9 to 6 to 3, it flows south to north, just as the map shows.

Progess update edited (West=Trossa, East = Pavone)

So I've been really busy as I've also started new job and have to do a lot of work to prepare for it, however I have been working on this in the background. Have confirmed the rivers that are running to the north = Cecina, east = Pavone and west = Trossa and the Possera runs through Bagno and inside of the circles. I'll share the diagrams to map them all as soon as they are finished.
