Nice. If someone georeferences them, I'll create SuperOverlays and import them into Google Earth.



If you examine them, you will see that the maps are various forms of conical projections, not rectangular Mercator projections. They only approximate projectable images in the equatorial regions, and would not lend themselves to significant orthorectification. Their margins would need to be removed if they were to be used in adjacent pairs, and in some cases copyright issues would have to be addressed.
