Map of the Crimean Khanate at 4 points in time, shown as a superposition of borders layed above each other for comparison.

The area of this former country is split between Ukraine and Russia on the modern Google Maps basemap (kinda topical as well in that way, at the moment...).

As always the image itself has information embedded. This was a rework of an older map I had around for which I also lost part of the sources by the time I had started reworking it.
