If anyone has any old maps (2006 back to 16??) the Gallia County Historical and Genealogical Society would be interested in acquiring a copy or an original of them for a new project. They need to be clear 8 1/2 x 11. Larger maps might work if they could be sized down to an 8 1/2 x 11 size and still be readable. Full size maps won't work because it will be difficult to read if sized down to 8 1/2 x 11 inches. We need maps of Gallia, Jackson, Vinton, Lawrence, Meigs, Athens, Washington and any other counties in Ohio. We would also be interested in maps from West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, North Carolina or any of the New England States. Other states would also be helpful because many people traveled down the river and overland to the west, especially Illinois, Indiana and onward west. These maps can be new or old, preferably old ones so we can trace migration routes. The Ohio River and Kanawha River maps would also be good. JUST REMEMBER, THESE MAPS WILL BE ON A 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper and they will be black and white, gray tones. THEY WILL NEED TO BE CLEAR AND SIZED TO WORK. If interested in helping in this map project send a copy, not an email, CD or floppy but a printed copy or an original map to: The Gallia County Historical and Genealogical Society at 412 Second Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. This is just another project to help researcher in and around the Gallia County, Ohio area. If you would like more information on this project contact the society office at 740-446-7200 or you can email me privately. Marjorie L.
