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.
