John Linhorst has created a wonderful tool by taking the 1876 & 1898 historical atlases of Jefferson County and creating a series of overlays for use within the Google Earth software. It gives the user a good look at
how things have changed (and how some things have not changed!) in Jefferson County.
Check them out under "Land Records, Maps & Place Names" on the menu at left.
