STEP 4: THE SEARCH BAR IS YOUR FRIEND

Next, using the Search Bar (pictured above) we’ll simply type “Paris” or “Chicago” into the search bar and hit enter, which will allow us to view all available maps from these areas dating between 1800-1899. You should do the same. If you want New York, simply type it. If you want something broader, try typing in the name of a country, ocean or continent. If you are looking for something specific – say a map of mining claims, then maybe try “gold mines”. (This is how I found my vintage map of Gold Rush-era Mining Claims in Stevens County, WA).
