Does anyone know of a website where one could view old street maps, (mostly from the 1960s) ? Trying to settle an argument about what was where. There's too much development & freeways, so current maps won't work. Thanks, n4

Have you tried your highway department? My experience is in highway construction. Plans for new or relocated highways usually have a map of the existing roads and show how the new roadway is oriented as compared to what is there before the construction begins. Also, new highways usually require infringement on existing properties and separate right of way plats are developed to show the boundaries of the existing properties and what portions of the properties is needed to build the roadway. Some of this info is available online such as "as built" drawings. Review your highway agency (or department of public works) websites and/or give them a call.
