http://txdot.lib.utexas.edu If your family search leads you to Texas, here is a valuable resource for you. You can access very detailed maps of every Texas county. Every county road, and every tiny burg (as long as it has a zip code, and perhaps if it doesn't) is on the map. You can pick the per cent of magnification of a map, and the image size (how big you want it on your screen). You can search by a place (city, university, lake, etc.) Even city/town streets do appear on many of these maps as you zoom in, but no street names are included in the search index. All county maps have a legend of symbols printed on the page. You have to zoom in close to read them. They are extensive. There are icons to indicate to you the location of cemetarys, golf courses, military bases, dirt roads, paved roads, etc. etc. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Searching for the Spradley and Ketchum families.
