Does anyone know where I can find these? Specifically, the 28 (eure-et-loir) or 78 (yvelines) departments would be awesome... I've seen a few recommendations to find old maps and check them for old house sites and so on, but I'm having enough trouble finding a map of my town as it is today :D I'm quite near to Chartres but still a little out in the sticks, the town has existed since Roman times so there should hopefully be something out there, at least! Where do you get your old maps from? Any country would do, it'd be nice to get some pointers on where I could start looking, at least :)

Cheers!

Chris.

Not sure if it will help you in France, but I've found a few good maps on HistoricMapWorks.com.

Welcome to Treasure Net !!

If you would state the time frame of the maps you seek, you may get more responses. Like....are you looking for pre- or post Napoleon maps? Pre--or post WW I or WW II maps?
