*[https://www.randymajors.com/p/maps.html Historical U.S. County Boundary Maps] (randymajors.com) An online tool that uses Google Maps to display county boundaries from any historical date. Type in present day place in the U.S. and a historical date or year to see the map of county boundaries then in effect, along with all of the current Google Maps places, roads, etc to put the historical map in a current and familiar context! You can then click any county on the map to see the specific history of the boundary changes, see full chronology of boundary changes, and overlay research locations such as libraries and cemeteries. Based on the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries, a project of The Newberry Library. | |||
