This is probably the biggest map ever posted in this thread (okay, maybe one of Pavina's maps is slightly larger, haha). It’s 28,600 x 17,500 pixels and weighs in at 85.2 MB. In its raw format with all the layers, it's a massive 1.8 GB. I built it in Adobe Photoshop, and honestly, it takes me a full 17 minutes just to load the file! It’s still unfinished for that exact reason—it’s just too huge. My computer chokes trying to handle it, eating up every bit of RAM I have. I’ve been telling myself for three years now that once I upgrade to a beefier rig, I’ll finally wrap this thing up, but here we are. Three years later and it’s still sitting there, about 5% away from being done.
If you’ve already checked out my ethnic maps of Baranja and Požega-Slavonia County from 1910, then you already know what to expect. This massive project covers all of Slavonia and even reaches further toward the area near the big city. You can find the color key inside the Požega-Slavonia County map.
I usually use ACDSee to take a look, but the maximum zoom is only 70%. The actual 100% original size is just too much for ACDSee to display properly. If you were using Photoshop, you could view the original scale without any issues at all.
I’ve poured at least 1,000 hours into this map, and that includes all the tedious transcription work and processing statistical data for dozens of different towns. If you think I'm exaggerating—just look at it.
