Hello list, I've just discovered this helpful link for searching the 1940 census: National Archives maps of enumeration districts. Go to: http://www.archives.gov/research/search/ In the Search Online Public Access box, insert a phrase like this and then click SEARCH: 1940 enumeration district map Brazos County, Texas I received two entries: 1940 Census Enumeration District Maps - Texas - Brazos County - ED 21-1 - ED 21-21,(a hot link) National Archives Identifier: 5839536 Creator(s): Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census. Office of the Associate Director for Decennial Census. Geography Division.

Bureau of the Census. Office of the Associate Director for Decennial Census. Geography Division. (01/1987 - ) http://research.archives.gov/description/5839535 I looked at one of them and got images of sections of the map I wanted. The images can be downloaded. For some localities (e.g., Kings County, New York) there was also an entry for the ED boundary descriptions. I haven't yet explored why these descriptions weren't listed for my Brazos County search.
