Not a direct map request, rather looking for some assistance. From USGS EarthExplorer, I downloaded some early satellite images (the low-resolution preview version, high resolution is not available for free). These image are not georeferenced and show only very small areas, so for georeferenciation, the images need to be stitched first. Have not done that before, so the question, is there free software for that purpose?--

Antemister, what product are you using from the EarthExplorer? I didn't even know there were things you could purchase from the site-- are you sure it isn't a free download? A georeferenced raster could very easily be merged in QGIS or similar. –

It is about the "declassified data", it contain images from the early US reconnaissance satellites in the 1968s. The images are scanned, but only in low resolution and not properly georeferenced. What I want to do is drawing the shorelines of Aral Sea in 1968, for that I have to download a few dozens of these narrow stripes and then stitch them before georefencing.--

Can we add Albania and Kosovo on this map since the verore is also used there?
This map is really useful in illustrating why the U.S. state of Virginia was split in two during the American Civil War, but it's difficult to read, and a colorful SVG would be better! We wouldn't need all the numbers or the names on the counties, just the map with colors shaded in a similar way. Thanks! --

Please create a map showing the rough location of the Karnat dynasty as per the Historical Atlas of South Asia by Joseph Schwartzberg. For copyright reasons, I can’t use a screenshot from the map itself so if you could make an equivalent showing the location of the Karnatas, that would be appreciated.
Create a map on Presidential primaries and caucuses Rules Map?? For example which states have Open primary/caucus, which states have Closed primary/caucus and which have Semi-closed primary/caucus. Each state can be colored in a different color. Dark red for Closed primary/caucus, red for Semi-closed primary/caucus, and light red for Open primary/caucus.
Here are the sources for each state rules in 2020.

I would like a Map for the Republican primary/caucuses rules, if you could make an extra one for the Democratic rules that would be good.

@
Muaza Husni it's a little more complex than just these three categories because of various state statutes governing how these things work. See this document from
National Conference of State Legislatures[1].
It would only be possible to make it for a presidential election year as far as I can tell because some states allow that individual parties to change at their discretion. Would you be satisfied with a map for just 2024? It will take me some time to verify the table listed in the above source but I will make this for you if you're fine with just a map for 2024.

Philipnelson99 Hi so what do you think We should do with you saying I don't think I'm going to have time to finish it since it involves collecting the data by hand I was thinking instead of collecting the date by hand would it just be easer to do the 2020 rules from the ballotpedia or what do you think We should do??.

I can't found the details of the color system? is it dark red for closed primary, lite red for Semiclosed and orange is open primary??. Thank you for your work so far.

Correction of plant name on the map
The plant name on my map needs to be corrected. I don't have a computer. This error can only be fixed with svg editing programs on the computer. The name
Asphodelus in the information box should be changed to
Eremurus spectabilis. The 2 plants are different species and are not even remotely related to each other. I will be happy if anyone help me. Thanks.

I am requesting an editor create a svg map for Canada of the 11 numbered treaties. The
current map created in 2011 does not have accurate boundaries. The government of Canada provides the shapefiles
on the open government website. If it could be on a Canada basemap with different colours for each of the 11 treaties (and adhesions which are additions to those numbered treaties such as 6 (1899)) and the number and date (e.g., 8 (1899)) that would be awesome! --

I'm hoping that someone could create an
election map showing the results of the 2021 election for the general presidency of the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the largest trade unions in Canada and the United States.
The map would show the results of the election broken down by region (Eastern, Central, Southern, Western, and Canada). The American regions are composed of the following states/territories:
Eastern: CT, DC , DE, MA, MD, ME, NC, NH, NJ, NY, PA, PR, RI, SC, VA, VT, WV
Central: IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MI, MN, MO, NE, OH, WI
Southern: AL, AR, FL, GA, LA, MS, OK, TN, TX
Western: AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NM, NV, OR, UT, WA
I imagine it would be based on a map like
File:North America blank map with state and province boundaries.png, but the only internal borders it would show would be between regions (rather than between every province and state). Ideally, it would also include Puerto Rico (but I support that could always be added later if need be).
It would be coloured according the popular vote in each region, using shades of the colours used in the article's infobox. The regional results are available at ibtvote.org/Election-Results. Thanks,

I reported this to the owner of the
map on Wikimedia commons. But if there is no response from him, someone here can please correct it. Hello. I want to add another ancient city name to
this map. Stones belonging to the Urartians were found in the excavations carried out in the
Alazlı village of Korkut district.
See sources. And on these stones, the city of Tirmiti (with its modern name
Alazlı) is mentioned. I want the name Tirmiti to be added to this map. Thanks. Tirmiti village is located where the V-shaped mountain range that I marked on the maps begins. The northern part of the V shape is a valley and waterway. The southern part is the front of the Mountain range. See

I'm not sure tbh, as that map is meant to show the forest and the protected areas (which could exclude some other areas). Ultimately, that's your call (just go with whatever you feel comfortable with).

The main map shows the correct position (09° 04' South 34° 04' West) correctly, but the inset wider-area map shows a completely different position - more-or-less at
Fortaleza (03°43′39″S 38°31′39″W). The mark-up of the template seems correct. If this cannot be fixed, should this template be deprecated, and replaced? --
