    That site is certainly a keeper, it would be perfect if I could find a site that had the same historic maps for the rest of the U.S. Thanks.

    That sites been up for quite some time now, I was hoping that they would have all 50 states indexed by now.
    Still a great service and free at that.

    You might check out this GIS-related article regarding the trails:
    http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/1003/trailoftears.html

    Sounds like if you would contact the Arkansas individual referenced in that article he might be able to let you know if a GPS map of the trails has been recreated, the article reads as though the states involved were working together to make that happen.

    Happy hunting.

    Great site, thanks. I was able to find a 1916 map of my area and then piecemeal a modern map together to compare.
