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.
