> The Atlas of Historical County Boundaries Project
> proudly announces the online publication of our first
> three interactive state maps: California Historical
> Counties (IMS), Virginia Historical Counties (IMS),
> and West Virginia Historical Counties (IMS).
> Now researchers can view and print information from
> the interactive maps at no charge through the
> project's Web site. Go to www.newberry.org/ahcbp, then
> click on "View Historical State and County Maps" and
> select one of the three states.
> Users can customize the maps by choosing a date of
> interest and adding or deleting various layers, such
> as modern county seats, county names, and boundaries.
> An array of powerful tools enables the user to zoom in
> and out and pan, and to query and manipulate the map
> in several different ways. Additional information can
> be viewed by clicking on the Chronologies or
> Supplemental Texts buttons.
>
> At present, you should use Internet Explorer, as the
> interactive maps do not work well with some other
> browsers. Contact Project Editor, John Long,
> , for information on purchasing
> files that can be used with GIS.
>
> The County Boundaries staff invites your comments and
> suggestions.
