>
> The Zone 1-11 Atlas is a complete set of 1876 Indiana county maps. Each
> Zone consists of a series of 8 or more bordering county maps making up all
> 92 Indiana counties. Each Zone Atlas contains high resolution scanned
> images of vintage 19th century county maps that are presented in Adobe
> Portable Document Format (PDF).
>
> All (11) individual Indiana Zones also available separately.
>
> Each county map includes the following 19th century features:
>
> * roads, railroads and canals
> * cities, towns and villages
> * post offices and government sites
> * one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries
> * rivers, streams and ferries
> * racetracks, fairgrounds and picnic groves
> * industrial sites, furnaces and mills
> * early homesteads and farms
> -and much more
>
> The Historic Atlas of Indiana series may be an invaluable aid to
> Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Indiana
> places and place names. Many 19th century sites no longer appear on
> contemporary maps and or have been obscured with time. The Historic Atlas
> Series CD's provide researchers with the means to quickly search 19th
> century maps when searching for extinct Indiana places.
>
> The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and
> print from the PDF map images contained in this atlas; and is included
> free on each CD. No other software is necessary. The map data has been
> created and configured using Adobe Acrobat Reader (6.0) for MS Windows
> (98, 98SE, XP, NT and 2000). The maps may be viewed in earlier and the
> latest versions of the software as well; however, optimum use of the data
> can be expected using the Adobe Reader 6.0 that is included on this CD.
>
> Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no
> exception; however, by virtue of the Adobe PDF formatting, these documents
> may be inspected at high levels of magnification without additional
> digital distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with
> paper reproductions and photocopies.

> Follow the links below for other Atlas CD's available for the states of
> IA, IL, IN, KY, MI, MN, OH, PA and WI.
