I'll just shut up now. That's what I get for having been to every state....but Alaska... |
You're right. The perspective
is slightly off. That's one of the fascinating things about old maps. Occasionally that happens. BTW - any chance of putting these in their own section, so they don't get lost in the shuffle? That way they can be used for reference and added to. Is that possible - moderator?
