-Maps can show places, parishes, geographical features, transportation routes, and proximity to other towns.
+== Tips for Using Maps  ==
-Historical maps are especially useful for understanding boundary changes.
+Maps must be used carefully for several reasons:
-Maps are published individually or as an atlas, a bound collection of maps. Maps may also be included in gazetteers, guidebooks, local histories, and history texts.
+*There are often several places with the same name. You may want to use a '''[[Peru Gazetteers | Gazetteer]]''' to help you.<br>
+*The spelling and even names of some towns may have changed since your ancestor lived there.<br>
+*Place-names are often misspelled in English sources. Difficult names may have been shortened and important diacritic marks omitted.<br>
+*Political boundaries are not clearly indicated on all maps. Look for neighboring towns and geographic features to find the area where your ancestor came from.<br>
+*Boundaries changed over time. Use historical maps to understand boundary changes.<br>
-Different types of maps will help you in different ways. Historical atlases describe the growth and development of countries. They show boundaries, migration routes, settlement patterns, military campaigns, and other historical information. Road atlases are also useful. They contain detailed maps and an alphabetical index of place names. Other types of maps may include department or provincial atlases and topographical maps.
+For more tips and information on using maps, go to the general'''[[Maps | Maps Record Page]]'''.
-=== Using Maps  ===
+=== Finding the Specific Town on the Map  ===
-Maps must be used carefully for several reasons:
+To successfully research maps from Peru, you must identify the town where your ancestor lived. Because there are several towns that have the same name, you may need some additional information before you can locate the correct town on a map. Using gazetteers can help you to identify a place's the jurisdiction and help you locate it on a map. See the '''[[Peru Gazetteers]]''' article for more information.
-*There are often several places with the same name. For example, there are seven towns called La Union in present-day Peru.
+== Types of Maps  ==
-*The spelling and even names of some towns may have changed since your ancestors lived there.
-*Some localities have different names in different languages.
-*Place-names are often misspelled in foreign sources. Difficult names may have been shortened and important diacritic marks omitted.
-*Political boundaries may not be clearly indicated on all maps.
-=== Finding the Specific Town on the Map  ===
+Different types of maps help you in different ways, for example:
-To do successful research in Peru, you must correctly identify the town where your ancestor lived. Because many towns have the same name, you may need some additional information before you can locate the correct town on a map. You will be more successful if you have some information about the town. Search gazetteers, histories, family records, and other sources to learn all you can about the following:
+*Historical atlases describe the growth and development of countries, showing boundaries, migration routes, settlement patterns, military campaigns, and other historical information.<br>
+*Road atlases are useful because of the detail they provide. <br>
+*Other types of maps include: parish maps, state maps, tourist maps, topographical maps, and air navigation maps. City maps are extremely helpful when researching in large cities.<br>

+=== Historical Maps Collections ===
-=== Finding Maps and Atlases  ===
-Collections of maps and atlases are available at numerous historical societies and at public and university libraries. Major collections for Peru are at the National Library of Peru.
