A few weeks ago we looked at how the 1920 map of Kowloon was added to Gwulo. Today we'll take a closer look at the map itself, and see what stories it has to tell of early 20th-century Kowloon.

I've just finished adding another old paper map to Gwulo's online maps. I'll come back to the map itself in a future newsletter, but this week I'll take a look at what went on behind the scenes.
