摘要:The map sheets of the Generalkarte, result of the Third Austro-Hungarian Mapping (late 19thcentury), are of particular importance to the modern Greek carto-graphic heritage, because they constituted the initial cartographic tools in the northern part of Greece, after its liberation and incorporation in the Greek state (early 20thcentury). The Generalkarte sheets were reproduced until the mid-20thcentury in various Greek map edi-tions. The paper is concerned with investigating the similarities between the original General-karte sheets and their respective subsequent Greek editions. Comparisons are carried out for sheets covering areas in both sides of the old borders of the Greek state (early 20thcen-tury) and interesting differences are spotted, attributed to Greek cartographic campaigns of the time, closely related to certain historical events
