People of the past moved about their countries in different ways, and this influenced the way they interacted. It is also very important for looking at how the maps they made symbolized how they identified with their local area. Often maps of previous centuries show villages that are now non-existent, or curiosities such as landmarks and waypoints that are rather humorous.
