Fifty nine
Digital Town View Maps
for Illinois




This CD contains 59 high resolution digital images of maps and prints of various Illinois towns from the 19th century. If you are interested in local history or your family genealogy the maps will provide you a glimpse of the time when your great3 grandfather walked the streets.

The maps are drawn in detail giving street name and showing the location of houses, goverenment buildings, churches, schools and lounging animals on the street. When the maps are blown up they do not lose any detail. The map on the top left is of Lincoln Illinois. At the bottom of the page is a part of this map when is was enlarged. As can be noted from the image the resolution is excellent.

Computer Requirements:You need to have one of the following Microsoft OS - Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP and either Netscape 7.x and greater or IE 5.5 and greater browser.

To view the maps you will need to install a plugin for your browser on your computer. The software comes with the CD and installs easily. The software allows the viewer to zoom in on any area of the map. The speed of which it zooms and the clarity of the maps are astounding. The software allows printing of the file and allows file conversion into various graphic file formats. The new file can then be imported into most graphic programs. In a graphic program the file can be manipulated and a small section can be cut and saved as a file. An example of this would be the Logan county courthouse which is shown below. When printing the size of the print can be adjusted to give different sizes of prints.
