April/May '23 Lite Challenge: Map a historical portion of your hometown.

[Henkmet]

Alright. I don't technically live in Kuala Lumpur but I work there and that will have to be good enough. Kuala Lumpur grew as a tin mining settlement. After hours of trawling through the library, I found a reproduction of a property map. It's not as old as I would have liked; the marking 'Federal Territory' dates it to after 1974 while the Hong Fatt property was alienated in 1988. I can overlay it on openstreetmap with surprising accuracy considering I took a phone-photo of a printed reproduction in a book (I had to distort and scale a bit). I'll try to unify it in a map showing where in the present day the mining pits ended up (more or less a no-brainer: they're now lakes) but maybe interesting and at least an exercise for me. (someone please explain to me why a property map has an inset of the Malacca straits which in turn has an inset of the South China Sea. These insets obscuring part of the property.)

There seem to be two?
