I have ordered a number of them from Vesterheim. They cost $12.00 earch. When you get to this site you will see that there are 728 maps. You can scroll down until you get to the area you think you are looking for. When you e-mail Vesterheim you can tell them the number and name of the map you think you are looking for. If you know the name of the farm that will help Vesterheim know for sure which map you need. If you don't know the name of the farm you can give a town or a church area and that might help them also. The maps are very nice to have and I have located almost all of my farms on them. I have the maps for Leikanger, Voss, Ulvik, Stjordal, Aurdal, Kongsvinger, Smola, Hoyanger, Tinnsja, and Balestrand. You have to be careful when ordering or you may get some that you do not want. That is how I ended up with the Tinnsja and Hoyanger maps. I don't mind having them, but what I had really wanted where the ones that would have been located right next to them. When ordering maps remember that a number of the farm names are listed in a variety of areas. That is how I ended up with Hoyanger when what I wanted were Leikanger and Balestrand. If you click on the name (navn) in the list it will give you a site you can play with and see a general area of what the map will show. This will also help you pick the correct map. The actual farms are not shown on this site but the lakes, rivers, terrain etc. are shown. If you have any questions just e-mail me and I will see if I can help you. Jean in Minnesota
