Looking for old town locator

[comfortablynumb]

A while back, someone posted a link to a site where one could locate old towns by State. I must have wiped it out of my favorites. Can anyone help with the website? Thanks.

I had lost several of those sites too, but you can just google Ghost Towns and you will get several sites with other links. I hope this helps you.

Thanks for the responses, but unfortunately, these aren't the sites. The site I'm referring to allowed you to put in a location, and the map would superimpose old towns on it. You could then click on the name of the town, and it would bring up info on it.

ghosttowns.com has something like that. Try this link for and example.

What town or area are you looking for?

Counties in northwest missouri. More specifically, a town referred to as 'Swanee'. (not Swanwick...already found that old settlement). This whole town was formed by the families of former slaves, and I've heard there are some great photo-ops (and ghosts) in this area of post-Civil War headstones.

I've searched Clay & Ray county historical centers, and there is no record anywhere of this town (I'm told that's typical for slave settlements in the area).

Closest I can find to that sound is SHAWNEE, Missouri in the center of the state.

Thanks for checking. I'm afraid I'm going to have to let this one go as a "legend."
