I thought I'd pass this along. The National Archives has maps, actually, Illustrations or renderings, that were drawn "from life" of several locations in Worcester County, including Webster. These are highly detailed renderings done in the late 19th century by artist/cartographers who captured rendered images of individual buildings. It's not just limited to Massachusetts places, either. I used one of these maps to find the hotel owned by my g-g-grandfather in Oshkosh, WI in 1867. Specifically related to Worcester County, the best map I've looked at, so far, is a view of Webster in 1892. It has inset detail illustrations of several Webster buildings, including A. J. Bates' Shoe Factory, as well as his summer home and cottage. Also, there are storefront businesses owned by several of our ancestors. Anyone descended from A. W. Joslin will be interested to see "The Hub," a retail building where he did business as "A. W. Joslin, Remnants." Just click on the "Cities and Towns" link and do a search for whatever town you wish. Not all are there, but some are: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/gmdhome.html One caveat. Don't try saving these maps to your hard disk and expect to be able to zoom in on them like you can on the National Archives site. They are using a special application that makes that possible. The resolution is incredible. What I found will work, though, is, when you see a landmark you want a picture of, just zoom in on it (on the website), then right-click to save that view to your computer. You can then view the zoomed-in image at full resolution in whatever image editor you have. Hope this helps. Gary
