Amazing Historical Maps...FREE!

I posted this thread on the general discussion in illinois as well.

I don't know how many of you guys already know about this site, but it is very helpfull in identifying what exact businesses and estates were around back in the day in certain areas. These are "lot" or "plot" maps. So far, the best site I have found for research purposes

If you PM me I'll give you a user name and password. I don't want it posted here as then anyone can start using it and like all the others before, it will deactivate. If I share it with you I ask that you keep it off of any online forum posts. The access I have is only for Illinois. I recommend downloading the maps you want or might want and accessing them off your hard drive so we dont have a large number of logins with this user name. Again, it's only for the Illinois maps on Sanborn and I'd like to keep it within the user group here.

Thanks,
Chris

H!!
Had seen this old post and was wondering about maps in the henry county area from that website.
I realize it is an old post but figured couldn't hurt to check.
Do you still have access?
Thanks for any help you can give.
