I found a set of maps (1:200000) published by the Finland Land Survey Board in the late 1930s. They are really detailed, showing roads, parish boundaries, village names, churches, and houses. Exactly what a genealogist wants to find. The maps are on the National Library of Finland’s Doria site in their Thematic Maps collection. Here’s the links:

Here’s the challenges: There’s no key, showing which map is which file; and the files are too big to put on the wiki. They are in the public domain, so there’s no legal restrictions on them. I’d like to have them put up somewhere and put a key (imagemap) in the wiki that links to the files on another site so they can be used.
