This paper explores ways to improve the coordinate transformation of maps from the First and Second Military Surveys of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy using airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. The paper analyses the current positional accuracy of georeferenced maps from the first two military mappings from available spatial data sources. Several areas of interest with different terrain ruggedness (plain, undulated terrain, mountains) were selected for analysis to investigate whether terrain ruggedness has an impact on the accuracy of these maps. The next part of the paper deals with the georeferencing of military mapping maps using current, mid-20th-century maps and ALS data using affine and second-degree polynomial transformations. The paper concludes with a statistical analysis and evaluation of the potential of ALS data for solving this type of problem. The results obtained in the paper indicate that ALS data can be a suitable source for finding control points to transform early topographic maps
