Eventually, this page will contain links to some Maps
of the diocese, and various towns within it, including:
-
The Diocese
of Chartres (and parts of contiguous dioceses) before the creation
of the diocese of Blois (which was largely carved out of the diocese
of Chartres in 1687).
This map was published in the 1860's in the Memoires of the
Societé archéologique d'Eure-et-Loir, and is
the work, I presume, of Lucien Merlet, who was the Archiviste
of the departément d'Eure-et-Loir.
I also assume that this map was generated by Merlet
from a careful reading of the documents placed under his care, including,
above all, the various detailed Pouillés of the diocese,
most of which have been subsequently published by the Academie
des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres (Auguste Longnon, ed. Pouilles
de la Province de Sens (Recueildes Historiens de la France...
Pouillés,tome IV), Paris, 1904).
- Chartres in 1748.
- Various maps from the region made by the Cassini
in the mid-18th century as part of the royal project of mapping the
whole of France.
- Gallardon in the 19th century.
