One of my favorite sites to visit! So many maps, so little time...

I was looking at a 1858 map of my area for home sites and located an old home close to me I have been wanting to detect. It seems it was a hotel in 1858 so it was well worth the effort to check the site out.

Let us know how it turns out

One of my most used sites. It led me to a site where a toll house used to stand, at the end of a bridge that crosses a shallow river...not too far from where I live. The bridge, still standing, is an old grate bridge.

Guess what I'm going to be doing this summer.

Wow, seeing new old maps for the first time, thanks!

Here is another site.

You can download the maps for free, I suggest the GeoPDF format, then take them to a Staples or similar Print shop and have them printed full size.

I have maps from 1895 and most current, that way I can locate abandoned home sites and roads that don't show up on current maps.

I hope you find this helpful.
