SUNY Stony Brook has some good maps online at

Also check out the American Memory project at the Library of Congress. They
have a surprising number of early NYS maps online. < http://memory.loc.gov/>

> 1835, 1845, and 1855 state censuses. (I am trying to track sheep and

> I fear, however that such comprehensive maps do not exist. But I
