Free aerial maps for research Help please

[Uptown603]

I tried searching the site for previous threads and I'm sure they're here but I couldn't come up with anything. Could someone please tell me if there are any websites I can get maps of the New Hampshire area for free dating back to the 1800's?
Thanks in advance, Shawn

No 1800s aerials, no airplanes

Best bet is historic aerials.com which gets you into the 1950’s

Try your local GIS website. They often have photo sets that go way back. Mine in northern VA went back to 1935

What kind of aircraft was used to create aerial maps in the 1800's ?

Balloons were a big deal back then! My area back when I was in northern VA has photos from balloons and watch/signal towers.
