BEFORE TOURISM
Before the resort map
The linked local overview does not preserve a clear account of Pamporovo before modern tourism.
This edition leaves that part of the timeline open rather than mistaking the first surviving sporting reference for the beginning of the place.

THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Pamporovo is recorded at 41.636° N, 24.683° E. Its catalogue reference reaches 1,937 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
