While the majority of the maps in this collection are of Connecticut, you will also find early maps of other parts of the country. To access a list of historical maps click on the Historical Maps Collection link from the MAGIC home page. Clicking on the metadata link in the left column will take you to a new page with a thumbnail image and description of the map. The maps may be viewed in a few different formats -- JPEG, SID, or JAVA -- and you can download them as SID files. To select a viewer just click on the viewer name, which will bring up an enlarged image of the map.
