Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no
exception; however, by virtue of the Adobe PDF formatting, these
documents may be inspected at high levels of magnification without
additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be
accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies.
Both new Kentucky atlases may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists,
Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Kentucky places and
place names. These early maps often contain many places that no longer
exist or that have been obscured over time; the location of property
owners, businesses, churches and cemeteries may assist genealogical
researchers interested in Kentucky history.
The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and
print from the PDF map images contained in this atlas; and is included
free on each CD. No other software is necessary. The map data has been
created and configured using the latest version of the Adobe Acrobat
Reader (6.0) for MS Windows (98, 98SE, XP, NT and 2000). The maps may be
viewed in earlier versions of the software as well; however, optimum use
of the data can be expected using the Adobe Reader 6.0 that is included
on this CD.
