    I really really want to find a good book or website showing the extended evolution of maps of the world or specific areas. This stuff fascinates me.

    I’ve found a few minor ones over the years, but never a good one.

      Sort of map-related, but the Longitude series/book is pretty fascinating. This map was drawn without really being able to calculate longitude except by dead reckoning.
