I thought I would forward this message as it is of great interest: Paul Murauskas murauskas@midsouth.net ======================================================= I found another great site for looking at maps for different cities. This site even has a zoom feature that lets you zoom in on the image and actually see street names. The legend lists names, companies, etc.. The 1756 Philadelphia map even has houses with the names of the occupant (head of household or who the home belongs to). These maps are incredible! I also downloaded the viewer so that I can zoom in off the web but you can still look at the images without getting the viewer.. you just can't zoom in unless you're on this site: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/citymapgeogindex1.html There were more than a dozen Philadelphia maps from different years .. 1700's to 1908. The map for Uniontown (Fayette county) was also a great map and was of interest because my father was born there in 1906. Check this site out to see what the layout of the land was when our ancestors lived there.
