Before aerial photography arrived most maps were highly inaccurate by modern standards.
They may be introduced by imperfect registration in map compilation lack of geodetic control in source data or a variety of other causes.
Rubber sheeting is a useful technique in historical gis where it is used to digitize and add old maps as feature layers in a modern gis.
Rubbersheeting makes spatial adjustments to align the input feature locations with more accurate target feature locations based on the specified rubbersheet links.
On the edit tab in the features group click modify.
The input link features represent the regular links.
The input point features represent identity links that hold source positions unmoved during the rubbersheeting process.
Qgis georeferencer plug in provides a number of transformation types including thin plate spline which enables full rubber sheeting.
Click the adjustment methods drop down arrow and click rubbersheet.
Qgis is a free open source gis package.
It makes possible comparing and overlaying multiple maps from different time periods.

Used to control rubber sheeting and adjustment operations.
Rubbersheeting is used to make small geometric adjustments in your data usually to align features with more accurate information.
The affine transformation function is.
Click the spatial adjustment menu point to adjustment methods then click a transformation method.
Geometric distortions commonly occur in source maps.
Rubber sheeting topological process of stretching or shrinking a subarea or portion of a map or image to fit in registration with selected control points.
By default arcmap supports three types of transformations.
Geometric correction of them.
Click rubbersheet for the adjustment method so you can set additional options for rubbersheeting.
The modify features pane appears.
You can press and hold the spacebar to temporarily turn off snapping as you create anchor points and draw displacement links or rubber sheet area polygons.
Cadcorp spatial information system software sis map modeller is offering a tool for rubbersheeting data layers.
Click the spatial adjustment menu point to adjustment methods then click rubbersheet to set the adjustment method.

Rubber sheeting may improve the value of such sources and make them easier to compare to modern maps.
An affine transformation can differentially scale the data skew it rotate it and translate it.
