About Maps
Historical Maps
... are useful learning tools. These visual aids reveal the known geography at a point in history which allows us to learn changes from then to now, such as:
- Places that changed names.
- Communities that no longer exist or didn't exist then.
- Railways that have come and gone.
- Reshaped shorelines of rivers and more.
Maps of the past were essentially done on a "best efforts" basis as there was little in instrumentation to be more precise. It wasn't until the introduction of satellites and imaging technololgy that truly "precision" maps were possible.

... to our libary. Contribute a reference map to this library. We are particularly interested in local/regional maps of cemeteries, villages, towns, plots, etc.
