== Individual articles ==
* [[Seattle]]. [[:Image:Seattle_map.png]] is a fine base, but the creator hasn't been seen on Wikipedia since late 2004 and never finished it. Could really use someone with local expertise to update and add many more points of interest ''or'' simply recreate, adding some major arterials and freeways in the process? In the meantime, Seattle lacks a good map, which is a shame. Thanks! --[[User:Lukobe|Lukobe]] 07:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
* [[New York Legislature]]- map of current Senate and Assembly districts with district numbers and if possible with partisan control
* [[Portes du Soleil]] 
* [[Abitibi County, Quebec]]
* [[Bondi Beach]]
* [[Tiananmen Square]]'s location in Beijing China. Additionally [[Cao Rulin|Cao Rulin's]] house in relation to Tiananmen Square and the [[May 4th Movement]]. [[User:Waarmstr|Waarmstr]] 18:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
*A map of the world in 1837.  - for what article?  there is a public domain one [http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gmd/g3200.ct000195 here] from 1840, but I don't know if that's what you're looking for.[[User:Kmusser|Kmusser]] 14:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
::Let me clarify. I'm doing a blank world map showing the borders at the start of [[Queen Victoria]]'s reign. Her reign began in 1837. Something like [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:World_1898_empires_colonies_territory.png this] would be great.
* [[National Auto Trail]]
*[[Circumferential Highway (Nashua)]] Needs a map showing: Currently completed route and proposed routing(s).  Information for the proposed routing can be found in the references section of said article. --[[User:Jayron32|Jayron32]] 05:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
*[[Via Valeria]] - the article gives specific geographical information, which isn't really comprehensible without a historical map. --[[User:Wetman|Wetman]] 19:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
*[[Spanish Texas]] - I'd like to base a map on [http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/atlas_texas/texas_spanish_missions.jpg this map], showing the boundaries of Spanish Texas. [[User:Karanacs|Karanacs]] ([[User talk:Karanacs|talk]]) 17:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
*[[Tax haven]]
*[[Indiana Territory]] showing the changes in boundaries more clearly the transfer that occurred in 1803 and to a lesser degree that of 1816. [[:Image:Indianaterr.PNG]] somewhat oversimplifies the eastern boundary transfer in 1803 -- in addition to the gore that was transferred from Ohio to Indiana, a relatively narrow strip north of Fort Recovery was transferred from Indiana to Ohio. [[User:Bkonrad|older]] ≠ [[User talk:Bkonrad|wiser]] 14:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
*[[Iloilo International Airport]] airport layout map.  I found the following sources as to how this map can be based: pages 6-8 of [http://www.philskies.net/library/Charts/New/RPVI.pdf the ILO aerodome chart] and [http://www.montinola.org/pics/skyscrapers the pictures in this directory] (the pictures concerned begin with the word "Airport"). --[[User:Sky Harbor|<b style="color:#0066ff;">Sky Harbor</b>]] <sup>([[User talk:Sky Harbor|<b style="color:#0066ff;">talk</b>]])</sup> 04:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
*[[Calvinism]] in Europe. P.S. Can I make a map by myself? What's the system? Thanks...[[User:Amiens984|Amiens984]] ([[User talk:Amiens984|talk]]) 22:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
*[[Cities of the ancient Near East]] which is a list of sites in Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Egypt etc with geo coordinates. Is there anyway to, say, autoplot the coordinates of a section onto a background? The section most ready for a map is [[Cities_of_the_Ancient_Near_East#Lower_Mesopotamia]]. Technically this may be a "map improvement" as there is a current almost impossible to read map.[[User:Ploversegg|Ploversegg]] ([[User talk:Ploversegg|talk]]) 23:48, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

==Improvement requests==
* [[List of Philadelphia neighborhoods]] could use more specific maps showing approximate neighborhood locations w/in sections. See [[Neighborhoods of Chicago]] for example. [[User:Passdoubt|Passdoubt]] 21:18, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
* [[Black Death]], a map of the spread of the plague (using arrows or colors) would be great, and they seem to be common in all of the books I have read.--[[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]] 20:43, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
** I think [[:Image:Bubonic plague map.PNG]] covers this nicely. ¦ [[User:Reisio|Reisio]] 01:51, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
** That map is already included in the article. I believe the requestor was looking for a map similar to [http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Italian_Studies/dweb/images/plague/plague_routes.jpg this one] showing global spread. --[[User:NormanEinstein|NormanEinstein]] 13:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
* [[Muslim History]]: [[:Image:Ayyubid.png]] could badly use some attention. Someone ambitious could do it for all of [[commons:Category:Maps_of_the_Caliphate]]. [[commons:Category:Maps of the history of the Middle East]] has some good examples.

==Re-creation requests==

==Batch requests==

The following are lists of articles which could use maps created in a systematic fashion.

===Countries===

* I've checked through the [[list of countries]] to see that all country articles have 1.) a locator map that shows the position of the country in the world, appearing in the country's infobox at the top of the article, on the right, and 2.) some sort of general orientation map showing '''major cities''', major landforms, '''boundaries with neighboring countries''', etc. These may also show internal political divisions (e.g. provinces) major transportation features, such as roads, rail lines, canals, rivers, and airports, if scale allows. The maps in the [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html CIA World Factbook] (barely) satisfy the second requirement, and are public domain, so these could easily be deployed to fill in many gaps. Country maps may also be hidden on that country's subarticles, or [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Source materials|elsewhere on the project]]. These articles are important because the [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team]] is creating offline versions of the encyclopedia based on them. [[User:Blofeld of SPECTRE]] has recwently created many of the missing ones at [[User:Blofeld of SPECTRE/Missing locator maps]].-- [[User:Beland|Beland]] 22:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
** [[Transnistria]] - Locator map shows position in Moldovia, due to disputed status.
** [[San Marino]] - Could use a map showing its relationship to Italian cities.
** [[Seychelles]] - Needs general map.
** [[Singapore]] - Needs general map, especially showing names of nearby countries.
** [[Spain]] - Needs general map.
** [[Turkey]] - Needs general map.
** [[United Kingdom]] - It would be nice to replace the CIA general map with a better one that showed the boundaries of the [[Home Nations]]. 
** [[United States]] - General map does not show the names of major cities, nor names of neighboring countries.  Also, the location of Hawaii in the world is not clear, and important territories like [[Puerto Rico]] are missing.
** [[Vatican City]] - Could use a map detailing its location in [[Rome]] and [[Italy]].
** [[Wallis and Futuna]] - Needs general map.

===Unrecognized countries===
* It would be useful to check to see what entities on the [[list of unrecognized countries]] and related articles don't yet have maps. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] 19:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

===Country subdivision maps===
The [[list of country subdivisions]] is missing maps (and indeed, missing articles) for many countries. -- [[User:Beland|Beland]] 19:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

===United States Municipalities===
Coordinated on [[User:Seth Ilys/Dot Project]].

===Canada===
*[[Past Canadian electoral districts]] (including historical provincial, territorial and colonial-era) (Example: [[Coast Chilcotin]]) [[User:Skookum1|Skookum1]] 07:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
*[[WP:BC|WikiProject British Columbia]] is looking for [[:Category:Wikipedia requested maps in British Columbia|many maps that are listed here]].  [[User:KenWalker|KenWalker]] | [[User talk:KenWalker|Talk]] 21:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

===Wars===
*General maps
**Resources and industrial capacities in WWI and WWII
**It would be great if someone took on the task to create a map of where different [[FARC]] fronts are active.  The fronts and their locations where they are active can be found under [[FARC-EP Chain of Command]] by looking at each individual bloc.
([[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history/Requests#world_war_2_building_capacities]])
* Wars where territory changed hands, e.g.:
** [[Battle of Muret]]
**[[Indian Wars]] (currently only external images)
**Merge: Image:Huns empire.png and Image:Invasions of the Roman Empire 1.png to replace of Image:450 roman-hunnic-empire 1764x1116.jpg
**Replace Image:Rome carthage 218.jpg with a new map showing the independence of Syphax and Hannibals conquest north of the Ebro in [[Second Punic War]]
**Map for the course of the [[Second Punic War]] take [http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/firsteuro/imgs/map7.html this] as an example but show also Roman/Carthaginian allies in Northern Italy, and along the coast + loss of Carthaginian possessions north of the Ebro
* Battles of tactical significance - tactical maps would be great.
**[[Battle of Ichi-no-Tani]]
**[[Battle of Dan-no-ura]]
**[[Battles of Kawanakajima]] (fourth battle)
**[[Battle of Nagashino]]
**[[Roman-Spartan War]] (showing the movment of troops)
* And Treaties and Peaces:
** [[Treaty of Corbeil (1258)]]

=== Reservations ===
Almost none of the articles on Native American reservation have maps.  See [[:Category:American Indian reservations]].

===Explorers===
None of the [[Age of Discovery]] explorers have maps! <s>Not even [[Christopher Columbus]]!</s> It would be incredibly useful for someone to to make maps of where they went, and perhaps maps of the world with all explorers from a certain time period. However, this is truly a batch request because they all need to be consistant. Don't do only one.

[[:Category: Explorers]] should give you a place to start. If anyone has a concern, I'm [[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] ([[User talk:HereToHelp|talk]]) 13:20, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
