Hi Barb, Yes, there are other types of maps that can be very useful. First, there are the STATE produced GENERAL HIGHWAY MAPs for each county. I have examples of these for many counties in both Georgia and South Carolina. These maps display the present-day roads, stream courses, bridges, lakes, churches, towers, etc., and often - cemetaries lying within a county. They are invaluable for situations where you don't want to get lost in an unfamiliar area. Or, for finding the name of a lost cemetary (e.g., the Coursey cemetary lying just off of Springfield Rd. in Effingham Co.). You can call information in Atlanta (404-555-1212) and ask for the Georgia Department Of Transportation number. Once you have their general information number, then you can call and ask for the Map Room. Once connected with those folks, you can checks on current prices of maps and then send in a check to order a set of desired maps. South Carolina offers two sizes of county General Highway Maps. The smaller versions are comparable to the Georgia maps and are handy to use. The larger maps are more than a handful of paper. But, they are easier to read. Also, there are map books composed of these same county maps. I have one for South Carolina. I bought it at a bookstore in Beaufort, S.C. I haven't run across one for Georgia, yet. I probably haven't looked for one... I have 50 or more county maps for Georgia. Another excellent type of map to get is the series of mapbooks and CD-ROM maps produced by _DeLorme_. I have examples of these mapbooks for both Georgia and South Carolina. The GEORGIA ATLAS & GAZETTEER is wonderfully useful. The SOUTH CAROLINA ATLAS & GAZETTEER has even more information displayed in that mapbook (i.e., smaller state - more information displayed). These maps combine the features of highway map with much of the information found in USGS topographic maps. The degree of the topographic detail is _less_, but still useful. In many instances both field roads and logging roads are shown on these maps. Quite impressive. And, being in book format - easy to handle. Go to www.delorme.com. I hope that this helps.
