-== Tips for Using Maps  ==
-Maps must be used carefully for several reasons:
-Several types of maps are useful for genealogists. Some give historical background of the area or show migration routes such as roads, rivers, and railroads. Topographical maps show physical features, such as creeks and hills, and man-made features, such as roads, cemeteries, and churches. Plat and land ownership maps and other types of maps are described in [[United States Maps]].
-*There are often several places with the same name. You may want to use a '''[[Colorado Gazetteers | Gazetteer]]''' to help you.<br>
-*The spelling and even names of some towns may have changed since your ancestor lived there.<br>
-*Boundaries changed over time. Use historical maps to understand boundary changes.<br>
-For more tips and information on using maps, go to the general'''[[Maps | Maps Record Page]]'''.
 == Types of Maps  ==
+*See [[Maps | Maps]] for more information.

 *The library also has city ward maps of Denver for the year 1874 (FS Library film {{FSC|373717|title-id|disp=1377700}}; {{FSC|373717|title-id|disp=fiche 6016642}}).
 *A series of maps showing changes of county boundaries between 1861 and 1913 is in Colorado Maps (n.p.; FamilySearch Library {{FSC|308787|title-id|disp=book 978.8 E7cm}}).
