Mike, thanks very much for posting this link! These are an amazing resource for anyone looking at prototype modelling.

In the past, I've picked up maps by going to the local county archives or museums. It's great for a road trip, but these days it's getting harder and harder to get away for a few days to poke around somewhere half a continent away.

Well I wanted to use the site, but it is now off limits. Guess Sanborn got to them
