This virtual service is helpful to local history researchers and genealogists.\u00a0 It allows investigators to easily acquire detailed visual representations showing the nature of development of parcels for a period of over a century, which is a valuable tool for finding old homes, cemeteries, roads, streams and much more.\u00a0 It is also a strong source for studying the evolution of communities and rural areas throughout the 20th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

Simply by clicking the mouse on the desired sector of the map, the virtual visitor has access to aerial images.\u00a0 They show how the land appeared in 1937, 1954, 1961, 1968, 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, and 2010<\/p>\n
