Announcement 11-10-2004:

The Historic Atlas Series: 19th Century County Maps now has its own domain:

http://www.historic-atlas-series.com

The former URL located on the HAR web site will remain for a limited time; so please change your bookmarks to continue visiting these web pages.

The current web site includes 19th century maps and atlases from: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. The state of Pennsylvania will be added in the next few weeks. Kentucky, Missouri and West Virginia are planned next year.

Individual county maps are useful for identifying 1874 transportation routes, railroads, canals, streams and rivers, cities, towns and villages, and early place names. One-room schools, churches, cemeteries and other cultural features are also included in the county maps.

The city and village plat maps in the Minnesota Atlas are often more detailed with many early property owners identified; industrial sites including a variety of stores, factories and mills; State and local government sites: cemeteries, churches, schools, fair grounds, race tracks, asylum & hospitals; and much more.

The high resolution digital map data is presented in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and the Adobe Acrobat Reader is included on each CD.

Thanks for reading,
