Atlas of Graves County, Kentucky 1880

http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/ky_map/grv_ky_index.html

This abridged Atlas CD contains high resolution digital images of vintage
1880 Graves County Kentucky maps that are presented in Adobe Portable
Document Format (PDF). The 1880 Graves County maps are organized by
Township
and Range on this CD, as are a number of city, town and village plan maps
from this period.

Village and town maps of Graves county in this atlas: Boydsville, Dukedom,
Fancy Farm P.O., Farmington, Hickory Grove, Lynnville, Mayfield,
Pryorsburg,
Symsonia, Water Valley and Wingo Station.

Details on aged 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 with far less digital
distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with paper
reproductions and photocopies.

Each map includes many 19th century features such as:

* toll roads, railroads and canals
* post offices and government sites
* schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries
* rivers, streams and ferries
* race tracks, fair grounds and picnic groves
* industrial sites, furnaces and mills
* early property ownership, homesteads and farms
  -and much more

The abridged Atlas of Graves County, Kentucky may be an invaluable aid to
Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Graves
County 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.
