Members, I have had so many request about the maps I thought I would post here and not individually which takes a lot of precious time. I AM OFFERING THE MAPS FOR SALE AGAIN Order cutoff date is MARCH 30 The prices have changed some to reflect reality. I don't mind copying, folding and mailing the maps but when someone writes on the deadline date "WHAT MAPS!!" it drives me crazy. I will take a pill and try to get thru. Here is an inventory of the maps that I have. They are all very readable and nearly all are printed text. I find them very helpful in understand the settlement of SW VA, KY, NC, etc. and in helping to find the major mts, streams, towns, and early settlers. THEY ARE VERY HOPEFUL WHEN READING BOOKS LIKE HISTORY OF SW VA, BEAR GRASS, & BENGE. The two maps I created, Wash. & Scott Co., were primarily to show the location of places, streams, churches and cemeteries with SURNAMES e.g. Smith Creek, Jones ridge, Preston Cemetery, Cypher's road. Soon I hope to do a Russell, Tazewell and later still a LEE Co. Maybe in 2-3 months. They are a collection of maps that I have copied from libraries, made myself, books and other sources. They are NOT copyrighted so we can copy them. Sizes are estimates of full map. They are large so they are not cheap to copy. The best part about them is that the mts., streams, churches, mills, communities, mines, etc. often have SURNAMES in them. Please don't ask me to search each map for a NAME you are looking are. I WON'T REPLY! HERE THEY ARE: 1) Historical Map of Washington Co., VA TWO SIZES. I created this map from 4 or more sources. Primarily from the 1880 map from the Hist. Soc. of Wash. Co. I also used several history books, some local historians, USGS topo maps, and the co. road map. It contains roads, mts., streams, churches, cemeteries, mills, forts, settlements, etc. MANY OF THESE PLACES ARE MENTIONED IN THE LAND GRANTS. It covers as far north as Copper Creek. This one has lots of details because I put them there. One can use this map to add their own data such as where their ancestor's farms were. You can build your own genealogical map of Wash. Co., VA 48" x 36" $12. 24" x 18" $ 7. incl. postage 2) Comtempory Frontier Settlements 1740 - 1760 Copy of a library map of VA settlements. Mostly rivers and streams like a geological map . Some of the earliest settlements are show. Not detailed. It covers the NC border to the Ohio river; and from Richmond to the Cumberland Gap. It is a great outline of SW VA if you wanted to create your own maps. It would be ease to print out some names and cut n' paste them to this map. 24" x 18" $5. 3) Southwestern VA map 188 Commercial & Industrial map. >From the New River to the Gap. Rivers & streams, mines, towns, roads, RR, mts., valleys, etc. A few surnames.
