Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum www.vesterheim.org sells copies of some great topographic maps that show old farm locations in Norway. Topographic Series Our most detailed maps are ideal if you want to find your family farm in Norway - this is the series for you! The series includes 727 maps covering all of Norway. Additionally, for a charge, we will do research to make certain the information you provide is accurate so you can order the correct map. The scale is 1:50,000. Each map covers a 7 x 10 US mile area." Because the maps are so large scale, it is a bit difficult to find which area you want if you don't know the name of the farm. I've seen other websites as well where you could order the maps, but I can't seem to find them right now.
Hi Christine, I have visited Vesterheim and recommend it to anyone who is even close to Decorah, Iowa. However, I do not see any data or price list on your 1:50,000 maps, unless I missed a page? I have gotten the maps with farms on with the Bygdebok's I have bought from the different areas of Sor Trondelag Norway. Please give a price for each one of the maps and the research needed to find the maps for all the listers.
