John Rocque's maps of London were published in 1746. A French-born British surveyor and cartographer, John Rocque produced two maps of London and the surrounding area. The better known of these, depicted here, is a 24-sheet map of the City of London and the surrounding area, surveyed by Rocque and engraved by John Pine and titled A Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster, and Borough of Southwark. Rocque combined two surveying techniques: he made a ground-level survey with a compass and a physical metal chain – the unit of length also being the chain. Compass bearings were taken of the lines measured. He also created a triangulation network over the entire area to be covered by taking readings from church towers and similar high places using a theodolite made by Jonathan Sisson (the inventor of the telescopic-sighted theodolite) to measure the observed angle between two other prominent locations. The process was repeated from point to point. This image depicts all 24 sheets of Rocque's map.Map credit: John Rocque and John Pine

About me →
Hello! I'm Drat8sub— WikiProject Women's sport .
I started editing at wikipedia simply out of frustration. Late in the year 2014, I got interested in Indian football history (national teams), and wanted to know about Indian football statistics and players and to my surprise there were inadequate and scattered information on google or wikipedia and were not organised well. So, I thought why not just create & improve articles in wikipedia and provide as much as information about national team players, statistics, leagues, all national teams. Today, I am one of the main author and contributor of various Indian football articles in wikipedia viz. men's team, women's team and all other age group u23 & u17 national teams, various statistical pages related to Indian football, Indian football leagues, and Indian players. My motive here is to improve as much as existing articles (lot of which created by fellow wikipedians ArsenalFan700 and Coderzombie from the project) related to Indian football and create informative articles. The significant contributions and improved articles are listed below. The journey with Indian football history also made me a football statistician and became a member of India at the FIFA World Cup and India at the FIFA Women's World Cup someday with pride.
Along with football, soon I took interests in athletics, cricket and other sports articles, improved many related articles. My interest is also to work with the articles under WikiProject Asia , and created and improved several articles and hope will continue.
