Map of world land use over time

There used to be this map floating around the internet, but I haven't seen it for years. Can you help me find it? It showed land use in the 1600s, 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s.
I don't know what the point of the map was, but I was very surprised at how much land was taken up by animals raised by humans for food. This is the closest I could find and it's not the same at all.

Response by poster: It was a map of the whole earth.

Land use for what specifically?
The entire earth except a few inhospitable places has been populated and in some kind of use by various populations for tens of thousands of years.

Response by poster: Different types of human interaction with the land. It was pretty simple. The only use I remember was animal grazing.
