The paper analyses the information obtainable from written support materials prepared for the purpose of the 1st military mapping demonstrated on the example of Nové Dvory and Žehušice landscape (this region is situated in Central Bohemia between the towns of Kutná Hora and Čáslav). In spite of the fact that maps are frequently used in research, the support materials are hardly known.

Even though cartography has tried to show the third dimension of a territory since the 18th century, the segmentation or even the appearance is very difficult to depict in detail. It is remarkable how different every new edition and a graphic approach to a map is as regards the view of the landscape; yet it can never convey every detail, not even an aerial photograph. One of the reasons why studying old maps is so popular is the search for the originál appearance and arrangement of the old, undisturbed, free, harmonious, but distinctly arranged landscape of the past, an idea of something like Arcadia, whose shine is apparent from scarce extant segments of the landscape.

This article defines GIS applications; it summarises their genesis and the history of their use; it describes their application especially in the humanities with an emphasis on historical disciplines. Examples of seminal HIS-GIS systems created abroad are given and scientific platforms where these outputs are presented are mentioned. It introduces in more detail the new Czech web map portal of the Historical Town Atlas of the Czech Republic created on the GIS principle in 2010. In connection with GIS issues, the author draws attention to a number of web map servers and web map portals available to the historian to utilise in his work. Old maps are often part of these portals. The process of digitalisation is closely linked with old maps in an internet environment and the author summarises this and describes various stages of the subsequent processes dealing with digitalised maps.
