I found these paragraphs on the Homework Central e-mail. It might help those in NYS research. NY Historical Maps http://www.homeworkcentral.com/Top8/files.htp?fileid=86462&use=hc Virtually explore the environs of Old New York. Twenty New York historical maps, listed in chronological order from 1556 to 1895, illustrate yesteryear's New York. When these maps were drawn in ink and printed on paper, their circulation was limited. Over time their value has increased and their accessibility decreased, as they have become more scarce. But things have changed. The Internet is now reaching into protective archives to reverse the scarcity trend and make old maps available to scholars everywhere in digital collections like this one from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The cartographers who created these old maps were at the cutting edge of the technology of their day, making geographical images without modern measuring means and satellite images. Looking at their maps lets us see profound changes that have occurred over time. John Seller's A Mapp of New England, 1675 has no roads at all, much less the Massachusetts Turnpike or Interstate 495. -- Gary O.
