*Tell us why this dataset is awesome.
How have you optimized this dataset to be used in the cloud?*

OpenHistoricalMap complements OpenStreetMap by extending its coverage of the world into the near and distant past. OHM data can be used in a number of use cases. For example, urban planners can visualize the evolution of a neighborhood to make better-informed plans about its future development. Historians and genealogists can illustrate narratives against period-accurate basemaps, tracking the movement of boundaries and buildings over time. Ordinary members of the public can share their memories with each other while helping to build the world’s most ambitious historical map.
