ANIȚA CONSTANTIN, CONSTANTIN MARIOARA-PALAGICA
Pages 3-16


ABSTRACT – The valuable cartographic materials that are available nowadays give us tremendous information about the state of settlements, landscape and its elements at a certain moment in history. The aim of this paper is to carry out an analysis of the territorial expansion of the market town of Agnita in Transylvania, Romania, based on different historical maps. The study begins with a brief introduction on the settlements in the Hârtibaciu Valley and proceeds with the description of their first mapping on Chorographia Transilvaniae, which was drawn by Johannes Honterus in 1532, a famous humanist and cartographer. Relevant edifices and the expansion of the urban area are distinguished on the three Habsburg Military Maps. To detect additions in the built environment, subsequent military topographic maps and recent satellite imagery are examined. Prior to overlaying the five sets of maps and carry out the analysis, the maps were georeferenced and processed with ArcMap software.
