FREE!!!! OLD MAPS

[gldhntr]

The National Archives has digitized 185 maps from 1700's to early 1900's so far. They are available online, printable for FREE!!!!!!!!! Alot are from civil war. They have also done some old documents that until now you had to pay, and wait, and wait...... They are doing alot more on a daily basis so keep tuned in to them. Go to nara.gov and follow directions. have fun!!!!

Whal I speak three languages and that just makes me a "cunning linguist". I believe that d. c. is asking if you can provide a link to treasure maps other than civil war period.

well i appreciate it SS, as i couldn't quite make it out, and had received a PM letting me know that the reason i couldn't understand was because i was a dumb old hillbilly, and the original poster here was from washington d c..well i have been to d.c. lately, and being i couldn't speak spanish, vietnamese, or russian i couldn't even hardly order a burger at mcdonalds...i think i will stay down here with ernest t bass, shorty, festus and friends....anyway, i don't have any links to any treasure maps of any kind....links to other maps i have previously posted...see yall later, gotta go feed the hogs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,gldhntr

I thought NARA's site was very poorly created. I wasted an hour just trying to find basic maps and information. There is no excuse for this, but the Federal Government has never needed an excuse!

Thanks for the actual link for the map information!!
