Maps

 * Ancestor Tracks has posted free, downloadable images of two 19th century wall maps: (1) "Maps of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, from Surveys" published in 1850 by W. E. Morris and (2) "Map of Bucks and Montgomery Counties and the Consolidated City of Philadelphia" published by Kuhn &amp; Shrope in 1857. These images show many landowners, towns and villages and roads as of the date of publication.  These are invaluable sources to be used with the 1850 and 1860 censuses.
