Old City of Berne, CH

I decided to do an image overlay on Google Earth of the city where my family’s from.

I played with it for a while and got it as close as I possibly could.

Over time it’s natural for riverbeds to change shape and move, so I’m sure that’s what happened, and the old map is also probably not as accurate as it possibly could be… but still! Not bad, I think.

Old map found on the Wikipedia page for the Old City of Bern. Map shows the old city and the original fortifications, 1638.
