Spanish Empire completely mapped
Posted by CharliePlett on June 30, 2025 in English. Last updated on July 20, 2025.While mapping the British Empire (completed in early 2025) I had mapped almost all of New Spain in the process. So I immediately started mapping the rest of the Spanish Empire in South America and the Pacific.
Then I took a break for awhile and concentrated on roads and railroads in Mexico and Belize. Last week I did some fixes and cleanups on the Spain relation and then tonight I completed the Spanish Empire.

Congrats! That’s actually a LOT that you had to do, what is another empire you plan to map?

I started on the French Empire already but eventually I want to do all colonial empires. But I’ve also worked on a lot of ancient empires, such as the Roman Empire and some of the Arabic/Muslim empires.
