I roughly know how world maps were created, but detailed local maps of towns and forest’s are something I find interesting. What methods were used to scale down in world, to paper distances?

I’d just like to hijack this thread to post one of my all time favourite websites:
https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/swipe/
It’s the National Library of Scotland’s map site’s side-by-side viewer which lets you browse classic maps synced with modern ones. UK-centric, but it still has loads of global and international maps too.
