FINDING THOSE OLD TOWNS & COUNTIES
Just about every researcher deals with the problem of
finding an old town that has long-since disappeared
from the map. Or, you have a known location but it
was not in the same county 100 or 200 years ago.
AniMap Plus now has solutions to these problems.
This upgraded version of our program that will display over 2,300 maps in color to show the changing county boundaries for each of the 48 adjacent United States for every year since colonial times. Includes all years, not just the census years. Maps may be viewed separately, or the program can set them in motion so you can automatically view the boundary changes. Maps of the full U.S. are also included showing the changes in state and territorial boundaries from 1776 to the present.
Each map includes a listing of the changes from the previous map making it simple to keep track of parent counties. There are four speed adjustments in the "run" mode as well as being able to advance by single frames.
MARK THE SPOT........
A unique "place marker" feature allows you to place
up to 50 markers of varying designs and colors on a
map, then change the year to observe the placement
(the maps remain in the same position and scale on the
screen). This is very convenient for marking the
location of towns that were shifted from one county to
another.You can now save sets of markers for future
reference and a new feature which will let you add
labels to your markers.
SITEFINDER DATABASES NOW INCLUDED ON
THE ANIMAP CD.....
SiteFinder contains listings for more than 200,000
places in the United States plus more than 35,000
variant names. Each listing gives the name of the place,
the county where it is (or was) located, and includes
latitude-longitude coordinates for 97% of them. With a
few mouse clicks, you can pluck items from SiteFinder
and plot them on the maps in AniMap Plus ... complete
with labels.
Included in the listings are: Cities & towns, Railroad Stations, Trading Posts, Farms & Ranches, Plantations, Ruins,Country Schools , Stagecoach Stops, Mining Camps, Ghost Towns ...and more.
The SiteFinder Cemetery database is also included which lists locations for more than 100,000 cemeteries throughout the U.S.
Much of the information in SiteFinder has been extracted from the US Geological Survey files and records of the US Post Office. Many of the locations are places that are no longer in existence or those that have had name changes. While it does not list every place that ever existed, we believe you will find it to be the best source available.
The SiteFinder browsing software will search for names (partial or complete), do wild card searches if you are unsure about the spelling or have unreadable letters in the name. You can also get a complete list of sites in any given county. A new feature in our browser lets you retrieve a list of locations within a specified number of miles (between 1 and 99) from your chosen location.
PLOT TOWNS ON YOUR MAPS
You can pluck items from the SiteFinder databases
and plot them directly on the map with just a few
clicks of your mouse. The location will appear on your
map and remain in place when you switch the map to
different years.
LATITUDE/LONGITUDE AND MILEAGE
A display on the AniMap screen shows you that
latitude and longitude coordinates of the cursor.
Another feature will let you measure the mileage
between any two points on the map.
PRINT OR EXPORT .....
All maps can be printed directly from the program, in
black-and-white or color, or you may export them to a
Bitmap (.bmp) file to use in word processing or
desktop publishing programs. You can also use a
paintbrush program to enhance the maps with
additional text, colors, etc.
OVERLAYS!
You can now customize your map by creating overlays
to show places of importance in your project. There are
also latitude-longitude overlays built into the program
as well as the ability to overlay the map for one year on
any other.
