Our state co-ordinator, Susan Tortorelli, has scanned in every Illinois county (as it existed in 1875) and uploaded them for an upcoming project "The United States Digital Map Project". Not all of the links are working yet, but if you want a LARGE map of any county in Illinois click on the following address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps/illinois/il1875/ and then pick (from a long list) which county (or part of Chicago) you want, but BE WARNED --- these files are large (from 130KB to over 1 MB). These maps show the county, each township, and each mile within each township, roads, and towns as they existed in 1875. If you just want a copy of our county, go to our website, click on "Maps", and you'll find a link to the new LARGE map. If you want to look at the new project (I don't believe it's been announced yet) go to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps/ NOTE: I have also posted a note on the welcome page of our website letting you know that I'll be gone most of the month of June, so please be patient if you send me any mail -- after June 5th I won't be looking at it until early July.
