The Swedish government has about a million (literally!) historical maps available online, unfortunately it seems the interface is only in Swedish…

Here's an example, a regional map from 1654 including Gothenburg:

Also https://maps.nls.uk/ is a great place to explore old maps
No, I wasn't aware of that, thanks! I can really see how you can get hooked by something like this.
Superb website, very cool!
