Abstract:
The buying of the Rio de Oro area
from the side of The Austro-Hungarian
Monarchy was an instructive and
interesting episode in the relation
question between Hungary and
Western Sahara. The exhibition of
the 3 pieces – so far unknown – hand
drawn sketch maps is an important
part of the information background.
Reproducing the original maps is
an essential add in the quest of this
project as well as in revealing of the
Spanish and Austrian negotiation
process.
The last mentioned task could
be executed with GIS and results
a compact, graphically expressive
projection, which includes all three
charts. This process conserves the
character of the original sketches,
besides it satisfies the accuracy
requirements of the modern age.
The other option in order to
retrieve reference data that we
attempt to reconstruct the coast of
Rio de Oro around 1899. To achieve
this goal more investigational
resources and bigger scale maps of
this age are needed. However we can
state that with sufficient care the
process mixing older and modern
information could be an efficient
way in reprography of maps from
that age.
