Spatial Points for Comparing Wyngaerde's 16th-Century Zaragoza View to Modern Maps

2.0 MB of location points and schematic context used to calculate distances and deviations between a historical chorography of Zaragoza and current maps. The dataset, created by Gabriel Marro-Gros and last updated on 2026-05-24, supports the analysis of spatial variations in the city's depiction. It includes files in TIFF, CSV, and TXT formats and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
