All the Cool Stuff is reserved for the maps
Move the cursor over the map image and click the right mouse button
for options. Tip: Use your shift key to highlight active URL's. Also use
the Page-up to zoom in, and Page-down for out. The arrow keys
work great for panning. Play with all the options and have fun!
Most roads on the "vector" maps (such as the Coos County Map) are "sub-meter" accurate, based on my own GPS work. The border between New Hampshire and Maine as shown, was input from the official survey plan of 1927-1929.
The New Hampshire and Canadian boundary "reference points" were converted from longitude and latitude (as listed in the International Boundary Commission's Joint Report dated 1925) into northings and eastings, then imported to the map.
Scans of Older maps such as the Deerfield, NH Map, are imported into
an Autocad drawing, then exported to a .dwf file. The advantage of viewing
a scanned image in this drawing web format rather than just as a normal
jpg file, is the benefit the viewer has to zoom, pan and print at different
scales.
This is just the beginning and I'm just playing with this technology myself, so keep an eye on this site. It is updated occasionally and I have a lot of ideas... Please feel free to contact me with any of yours.
