Then & Now Maps

Old maps and new aerial photos, lined up on the same ground

Each print puts a town on its earliest USGS survey map, a mid-century USGS map and a recent aerial photo, side by side and aligned so the same streets sit in the same place. They are real maps, restored from the U.S. Geological Survey's scans of the original sheets, not illustrations.
