Ghost Towns – Historical Maps Online

Our Ghost Town maps are easy to read, with a paper map base layer that shows modern landmarks and roads, and a transparent top layer that shows locations of ghost towns, past settlements, mining camps and ranches.

Using Our Ghost Town Maps

We offer Ghost Town maps for 10 western states, showing locations of abandoned towns, mining camps, landmarks and more. Each state's map packet contains regional maps, composed of historical maps...
...accompanied by corresponding modern road maps which are printed on transparent acetate.
Placing the road map over the historical map creates a composite of both. A simple way to use the map is...
...to slip a piece of paper between the layers, allowing the viewer to pinpoint location and route. Low tech? Sure, but simple is good: no batteries, wifi, or internet required!
