Dear Seekers: I have found the TOPO Map to be of great help in locating/finding those "out of the way places with strange sounding names", and others things like little towns, 'sometimes' cemeteries can be found, etc.: following is the website for it: http://www.topozone.com/ It is easy to use, just fill in the blank - can zoom in, out, enlarge, etc. Another very comprehensive map website for the U.S. and many areas of the world is: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/map_sites/hist_sites.html Good hunting - good luck! Have a great week ahead! Shirley: bobert@panacom.com
