What resources have you guys found that are good for researching historic maps?
I have used Historic Map Works, Residential Genealogy ? and while they are decent, they are not great. There "basic" overlays are off by a decent amount. They sample "premium" one of Boston is spot on, but are they are all spot on with premium? I am not sure and don't want to blow $30 just a find out when the basic should be on.
What I have done is screenshot the map, then go to Home - Georeferencer and look for similar points to overlay the maps.
Here is one of the maps that I have done of my local area: Blackriver.jpg
What do you guys use? Any better tools out there?
Thanks!
