It has been somewhat revamped to depend on googlemaps.<br /><br />Googlemaps is very hampered by lack of historical mapping, by inability to show outlines of Counties, Townships, Towns (e.g. of New England type), Shires, Hundreds, etc.<br /><br />The site appears to be waiting for user input of historical events in specific locales.<br /><br />If I want a historical map relating to events there in a given period, this is not my site. I will not have a lot of interest in others' ancestors who were born or married or died there, and the googlemap images will quickly become crowded with the doughboy images for each person.<br /><br />In one locale I'd want to know about the flood of 1804, the encampment at Ft. Pitt prefatory to Dunmore's War in 1774, the 1761 settlement of Christopher Gist's party at behest of the Ohio Company, the 1754 battle at Great Meadows and the two ensuing campaigns . . . . not to mention the history of County formation in the region.Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
