Once you have your overlays created and have them saved as .kmz files. I use the program Locus Pro on my smart phone as my gps. It's really pretty neat and I don't think a lot of people do it. Because I tried to start a thread on the subject a few times with very little interest. It kinda feels like you're walking around in the past.
I'm having trouble finding old photos of this area, or even old maps . But this interests me and I'll keep looking.
Try looking at the state universities. Around here they have map rooms in their libraries and most of them are available online. Remember any map is a treasure to a person with a metal detector. lolQuote:

I'm not quite the master that others may be. However, I've always had good luck overlaying old aerials to Google Earth from the Historical Aerials site. They don't cover all of the US, but there is a ton of data there.Quote:

It takes a bit to get the hang of navigating the site, but it's definitely worth the effort.
Thanks for the tips!
