I'm not sure this is what you want, but thought I would share what I have done, in some cities where my ancestors lived.

I searched for and found maps of the era. Then using photo editing software, I added pins for important locations - the house where my great-grandfather was born, the factory where he worked and met my great-grandmother, the Church where they were married.

A snippet of the map attached. In my tree, I have a legend which gives more detail about the locations.

For me, the historical map has more value than a modern map where street names have changed or borders or country names have disappeared.
