There are certain points of reference on each map that can be used to pull the historic map close to scale and provide reference to other points between the two maps. Is there a way to link 2 images with "points" on each and transform one of the two base on the those links?
I have a script that allows you to enter the coordinates of 2 points in the two images; it will then move. stretch or shrink and rotate in one operation (thereby minimising interpolation artifacts) - see Align Layer Numerically here: http://programmer97.byethost10.com/GIMP.html
Thanks for the response. Can the script be modified to allow more than 2 points? As I try to reconcile maps, I will be trying to use as many points as possible (known street intersections, hill peaks, river/creek bends, etc). The more points that are known and fixed should help to provide better context for the dissimilar/changed objects.
