MAPS
Historical Maps — Historical maps come in many varieties. They can be useful when you uncover an unfamiliar place name or locate a town that doesn’t exist anymore. One of the most useful for genealogists is a historical landowner's map, which shows property parcels along with the name of each landowner. Historical maps may also show churches, cemeteries, and other areas of interest. Thousands of historical maps are available online, some for free viewing and others for purchase.
