I am absolutely tickled that everyone seems to be enjoying my efforts. I uncovered these at the Library of Congress. It sure is a great place to get lost in. A bit difficult and time consuming to actually find what you are looking for though. For some reason, the site won't let me send the exact page with all the maps I found. This link should take you to a search page, where I searched Winnipesaukee New Hampshire Historical Maps. Link to LoC search The maps I posted were just pieces of larger ones. Once you get the list of maps, you can click on gallery view for thumbnails. Then click on your map and you will be on an information page. Click on the map again and you can go to the zoom in page. I then check size 640 x 480, check the appropriate zoom level I might want and point and click on the Navigator View picture in the right corner. Where you click, you zoom to. I was so happy to have found them. Like traveling back in time. This is one of my favorite sites, even though it is tough to navigate at times. All of the old photographs came from LoC. They have so many photos from around the country, just be sure you have plenty of time! Good luck and enjoy.

For some reason the link I provided doesn't work for me anymore. If I right click on the link and click on "open link in new window", it works. ???
