Any Good

Old Maps on the internet that you guys recommend? I live in Florida and want to check out a couple of places around 1900 to 1950s like pompano Beach, and a couple of other places. Let me know of any good map websites. Thanks in advance.

I would love to recommend something, but the problem I've encountered with the Internet is that many sites are unreliable. I'm sure there has to be a few good sites available, but they are probably pay sites. I would recommend hitting your local library, and then the town's municipal building where you want to hunt. I'm kinda lucky. My library is in the municipal building, so I get 1 stop shopping.

Good luck with your research and HH!

Don't know if this helps in Fla. but in Ohio i check Sanborn fire insurance maps on the web for my town. Good clear maps going back to 1889. Good luck.

I need a map that can be very specific for example a park in the 1900s that might still be here now but also where the park was at the time and between what street because you know how it goes: a lot of times a park is in a certain area but as time goes by they either expand or make some building where the goodies are.

it seems to be so hard to get accurate maps on the areas I want them. I did find some old postcards that help. Tomorrow I will try to go to the library and find some information there. Where would be a good place to start at the library? for accurate maps? will even bring some change to photocopy the good stuff if they have it.
