This 1850 map is a recreation of an original 1850 Somerset County map. The area hasn't changed, but towns have forged their own mark on history.
As a historian, I believe maps are one of the greatest sources of information, capturing a time and place. We use these maps to research history and find buildings, families, farms, or streets. We often compare those historic maps to current maps. Then, we go on a journey to find that actual location today. Once in a while, we take our research and create maps to give perspective. #readytoremember.

IF you build it, they will come. Sorry, we love maps and use them for our research all the time. Could be a cartoon map or a map from 1750, we have an entire map collection cause they tie back to history. Go for it.
