Hope you&#039;re enjoying your evening.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, while at work today I stumbled upon some old maps that were tucked away. I asked my supervisor if I could possibly have them and he said I could take as many as I liked. I didn&#039;t hesitate&nbsp; one second. While pulling some of the maps out, I was seeing dates in the years of 1916 etc. some of these maps state in the lower left corner &quot;Imperial Tracing Cloth&quot;. I did some quick research I found out that it&#039;s ink on tracing cloth. I couldn&#039;t understand why there was so much blue ink all over some of these. Some of these maps are referencing to right always for the rail road, proposed tracks, land ownership, deeds, etc. since I work for a railroad company, I find these all interesting. There are also diagrams for bridge building, lighting etc. In some of the legends for land ownership, I&#039;m finding dates back to the mid 1800s. Overall, I must have around 100 or so of these maps.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just a few pictures. These maps are very large to get really good pictures. Some of the words are typed, while others are hand written.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s also schematics for the signal houses and other electrical devices back then. Some of the streets in Savannah are labeled as dirt roads or cobled streets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
