A true read of one place
Send me a place name, an address, or a pin, and I walk it. Street-level imagery where it exists, satellite where it does not, gazetteers, historic maps. You get a short written report with sources: what the record claims, what the ground actually shows, and the verdict. Real, renamed, or a name with nothing under it. This is for the place that will not sit still. An ancestor's hamlet a gazetteer lists and the ground has forgotten. A boundary stone, a lost street, a name on a map with no building behind it. Something you found and cannot confirm, or something you need confirmed. What you get: - one written read of one named place, delivered as a document with sources - the map record and the ground held side by side - one round of changes included - 5 days after we agree the scope Worked sample, free to read here: Zoulale, near Iferouane, Niger (18.3768084, 8.1646777). The record shows a hamlet: a single mapper added it in 2024, version 1, and nothing else sits near it. The ground is bare desert. A name with no body under it.

Send the place and what you need to know, in a few lines. If it is not a fit, I say so and you owe nothing.
