I have several old, historical atlases that I bought years ago from farm auctions. The one for Pottawattamie County is fabulous with drawings of many farm homes. I also have a similar one for Harrison County. They're such a great tool to see where our ancestors lived.

I particularly liked the digitized maps so I could find my ancestors farms. The Hixson Plat Book, 1930 http://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/cdm4/index_hixson.php?CISOROOT=/hixson has some very clear maps with very legible handwriting. I also found the Iowa Historic Atlases from the late 1800's to early 1900's http://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/cdm4/index_maps.php?CISOROOT=/maps very useful.
