A Sampler of Historical Tennessee Maps
1832, Rhea, LOC
Compiled by Mike Slate September 2014 Second Edition
Introduction This compilation is offered with three primary purposes. The first is to remind researchers that in many instances it is no longer necessary to travel in order to view and study historical maps. Thanks to the digital age as well as to generous individuals and institutions, many rare maps are available online and can even be downloaded to personal computers. In the present case, three magnanimous Internet sources have been used: the David Rumsey Map Collection (Rumsey), the Library of Congress (LOC), and the Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA). The second goal is to make it relatively simple to access the complete versions of the selections illustrated here. Following the date, attributed author, and source abbreviation for the Rumsey and TSLA maps, users will find an item number that, when typed into the search box of the appropriate website, will lead to the referenced map. As for LOC maps, the provided website address will itself lead directly to the map. Third, for those interested in the Nashville area of Tennessee, it is hoped that the samples presented herein are broad enough for use without the necessity of navigating to the full map. As a final reminder, it should be noted that although antique maps are generally no longer under copyright protection each user must necessarily decide whether to seek permission for republication and how to attribute items properly.
