I wanted to let folks on this list know that the Historic Map Database
of the Texas State Archives has recently been reloaded with several
hundred additional maps and several hundred additional scans.  Most of
the scans are from two of the early sets of the county highway maps of
Texas.  The web site link is
http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/maps/index.html.  Many of the recently
added maps are street maps, most from a set of manuscript maps done by
the Texas Fire Insurance Department/Texas State Board of Insurance,
featuring streets and basic water system features for small towns and
cities in Texas.  Several hundred more of the water system maps will be
added to the database over the next year or so.
