What is Reddit's opinion of Old Maps Online?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I have found quite a few old abandoned railroads that supplied the cotton trade in the area. Following these on my dirt bike, I found some old abandoned platforms from back in the day, roughly 1890's. Using http://www.oldmapsonline.org/ I was able to figure out the origins of these stations.

I have also explored some abandoned WW2 training air strips that were in my area, you can find some near you using http://www.airfields-freeman.com/index.htm

They are pretty much everywhere.

Aye this map is 1583

Many more at Old Maps Online - that links to Somerset, you can play around to find others.

Hey Adam, I found this resource recently and thought you may be able to use it for future role-playing stuff, http://www.oldmapsonline.org/

It's a site with a whole bunch of cool old map archived on it, just type in a location and away you go.

This one is a personal favorite the detail is really nice http://www.oldmapsonline.org/map/unibern/001055998

One of the best source books for Deadlands is a reproduction. Sears Roebuck & Co. Catalogue. They are cheap and include thousands of products with illustrations and more or less correct pricing.

Also I found this site helpful. http://www.oldmapsonline.org/ having a map to base hings on makes coming up with ideas and plots much easyer.

Baltimore had quite the explosion between 1815 and 1862 It's population roughly quadrupled. We saw the establishment of the B&O Railroad, as well as the first telegraph system along the same length.

http://www.oldmapsonline.org/en/Baltimore Is an impressive resource of maps through the years; not just of Baltimore, but all over.

does anyone know where one can find old street maps?

i'd love to know exactly what road is what in this photo to be sure.

edit: got it

Oregon Historical Society and Scrap are great suggestions.

I found a cool map from 1897 on this website that I got printed: http://www.oldmapsonline.org/en/Portland,_Oregon

Which you can download in high res and then get printed - hopefully by a local Portland print shop, like ColorHausPDX.

i take it you've seen the old maps websites? http://www.oldmapsonline.org/en/Islington#bbox=-0.09877044914492217,51.53923917699294,-0.07351604928567212,51.56760123103876&q=&date_from=0&date_to=9999&scale_from=&scale_to=

also have you looked at the census records online. https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/England_Census_Records_and_Indexes_Online

USGS has an amazing collection of old maps. It can take some time to explore.

Another site: http://www.oldmapsonline.org

I've got a few jpeg2000 maps of Georgia from the 1800's that show that area, but not in great detail, just a few roads and the locations of the Iron Works, etc., just dots on a map.

Maybe something here: http://album.atlantahistorycenter.com/cms/Neighborhoods/23.html

Maybe as the use of Lidar spreads, things like this will be mapped.

I think you can find some interesting ones over at oldmapsonline.org, when you zoom into Brazil. Have a look, maybe there is something there that meets your interest.

Also, when using MapIndy, don't forget to check out the Pictometry feature.

The MapIndy site along with old online maps (this page has been especially useful) has been invaluable when researching abandoned structures I've found while riding my bicycle around the city.

These two sites provide virtual copies of just about any product manual you can think of (the ones that come in the box) Manualslib.com Manualguru.com

Rot13 is a good (but somewhat useless) encryption messaging service

Pubmed - well known in health care environments but is an excellent tool for researching scientific medical studies

Last but not least http://www.oldmapsonline.org/

Is this what you are looking for?

Edit: If you want to print it yourself, this one might be a better option.

I recently stumbled upon this website. It's kind of a portal to old maps hosted by various other sites. Most of the sites I found through this are universities with ancient UIs, but if you wrestle your way through that you have access to a lot of old maps :D

Try it! I don't put a lot of stock in legends, as it's so easy for word-of-mouth accounts to be exaggerated or changed. But this legend will make your metal detecting that much more exciting. You don't have to devote your life to it. Try it a couple of days. Dig up the junk you find, and you will learn a lot about your detector and detecting along the way. One day you may become frustrated and give up, but at least you will have tried and gained skills in the process.

Read the last page of this pdf.

Also, check out these old indian territory maps for clues.

Yeah I tried that, I found this interesting resource : http://www.oldmapsonline.org/

It gives maps based on location and time, it's very nifty, but not really what I'm after.

Also the NatGeo map collection :

http://maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=National+Geographic+Society&hl=en

That is also historical maps, but not dating back to the time I'm interested in.
