Well you are an adult and probably pretty intelligent. Just use your imagination.

The library, the book store, the internet, etc.

Depends on the kind of map you're looking for.

Check the maps portion of this forum. Sanborn maps are old fire insurance maps, google earth if you want a pretty good idea of todays world....and a lot inbetween.

Hey Pops, I sent you an email that has a link to a site that has some maps from the 1800's. Although I do not think any of them are of your dig area.

Check and see if your town has a history center or go to your state capital and see the old maps they have there.

I second that.some local historical societies will have copies of old maps.they are worth evey penny.one group reworked a county
atlas to show areas of history and marked out points of interest.
