Anna, I would love to find out the answer to your question as well. Often I find the need for state maps showing counties, and sometimes I can locate some but then I have trouble printing them on 1 page no matter what or how I try. I think that this is a good question to ask and wish I had thought of it. Let us know what you hear back on this topic. Thanks, Sue <Where can I find a map that shows only, where each county is located in a state, for example Missouri or Illinois? In Oklahoma this kind of map is available through some television stations for tornado and storm warnings. I checked the following sites: GNIS http://geonames.usgs.gov/gnisform.html and www.mapquest.com but each site seemed set up for specific questions, not general county map for a state. Besides contacting TV stations in each state, is there another way to access such a simplistic map for each state? When you guys start mentioning counties by name, after abt 3 county names, my eyes "start to glaze over" because I haven't got a clue where that location is. If I could just find a map showing only county locations in each state, it would really help. My memory is not that great anymore. State road maps are "too busy" to make out the individual counties quickly. This request may sound foolish to many of you, but I really don't know where else to look. Would appreciate any advise.

Dunno about other states, but here's what we have at MOGenWeb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mogenweb/momaps.htm Which links to various maps of the following descriptions: District of Louisiana, 1804 Missouri Territory in 1812 Missouri Territory in 1813 Missouri Territory in 1816 Missouri in 1821 Missouri in 1834 Missouri in 1841 Missouri in 1845 Missouri in 1860 County Identification Map, Modern It's intended that for any given time in history, you'll be able to see what counties there were and where they were.

There is also a printed list of counties showing where/when each was made. I have used this book so much checking to see if any of my relatives were close to the counties mentioned in the letters. I also made a copy of the states that my ancestors migrated from showing how they moved in case I could find some pattern of movement that I could identify a large group doing. Mary Lou Moore-KS
