The Spread of the Black Death through Europe

I present for you a series of maps designed to illustrate the spread of the Black Death through Europe. This is a work in progres.

These representations are mere estimates gleaned from various historical sources, including but not limited to historical atlases. While every effort has been made to represent the progression of the plague without error, no guarantees are made as to the complete accuracy of these geographic renderings. For more about this map series, please see this introduction.

I hope you find these maps informative and helpful!
