Years ago you could view maps in my are as far back as 1910, and in a few area the maps were even older. Now all of the sudden the same area only goes to 1950. This sucks because I know that pre and post wwii especially around my area changed how people lived and worked. Communities died in months sometimes.

Does anyone know of another option for viewing the older maps online? Most of our local library “map collection” consists of Rand McNallys from 1982.
 
You could try Historicmapworks or if you can find Sanborn Insurance maps or your area they often have a wealth of info in them.
 
In my area the photos go back to 61 and topos to 1908. I just checked and they are still there. I did notice that there is a different link on the front page you have to click to see them.
