In case you haven't visited the Texas GLO website recently, you will be shocked to see what it has become under the new regime.This is a ridiculous train wreck.

Kent, use Map Store under History to search the map collections.

http://www.glo.texas.gov/history/archives/map-store/index.cfm#search&apos ;">Archive Map Store

I'm happy to see that some of the McCombs maps that I'd looked at before are now zoomable. My secondary monitor is a flat screen tv and if you click the "full page" icon on the very right of the tools, to the right of the zoom scale bar, I can get a pretty good look at most of the maps.

"Map Store" that's idiotic idiotic enough, as if the only reason to be archiving the sketch files and rolled sketches was to sell them as decorative maps. I guess when you put the clueless in charge of anything you can't expect much else. This sort of incompetence makes my blood boil and it can only get worse given the individual in charge.

I agree. Looks like crap. I had a heck of a time finding archives a few days ago. It was not hard to find out who the commissioner was with the huge portrait on the opening page.

Chrome kept freezing and it finally crashed when searching through the map store. Thumbs down.

Our SLO (Louisiana) updated their web page recently too and boy it was difficult finding (about 30min) the historical records. But once there the search tools were the same.
