As usual, both Debbie and Lindy have given excellent advice on where to look. Both of these people are precious resources who are unsparing in sharing their vast knowledge with the rest of us. One site I bumbled across a while back is the following: http://igrek.amzp.pl/mapindex.php?cat=WIG100 It has beautifully detailed 1:100,000 scale Polish Military Maps from 1937. Depending on the areas of interest, other scales and years are also be available. I live in the Washington DC area and know that the U.S. Library of Congress does have an incredible map collection. The problem is determining which ones you want from (literally) thousands of others. There are some finding aids, but you'd probably have to visit Washington and spend some time here to pick out what you need.

Thx for the compliment. Bill, I am not in the same league as Debbie!! This is a very great link and if I am not mistaken, you can now acquire the printed maps themselves here: http://www.genealogyunlimited.com/poland.html When I first got involved in the mid-1990s, Genealogy Unlimited (Utah) had the printed collection of the 1:200,000 scale maps. They also had 1:50,000 scale maps (i.e. 8 separate maps for each of the 1:200,000 grid). Interlink Bookshop (David Obee, Victoria, B.C. Canada) acquired this collection about 10 years ago as I recall. I bought my various 1:200,000 scale maps from Interlink (the ones on here on the Budapest site, http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/3felmeres.htm). I even have a couple of the 1:50,000 maps and these are truly amazing. But it now appears Interlink is marketing these 1:100,000 scale maps that you have alluded to. I stand to be corrected; however, this is just great and a bonus for those who want the actual printed map itself!! Lindy www.lindykasperski.com P.S. I acquired a number of the paper maps from Interlink over the years and have a complete set covering Galicia (8 in all). One of our pet cats got into my map storage container last month and partially shredded just one map, unluckily the one of my Kasperski ancestral village, Buczacz/Trybuchowce. I will be contacting Interlink if they still have that (Kolomyja map) map in stock. But this new 1:100,000 set may make this not necessary. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sheleski, William J Sent: November-18-10 12:12 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [POLAND] Poland-Germany 1939 Demarcation Line As usual, both Debbie and Lindy have given excellent advice on where to look.
