623 US Railroad Maps at the Library of Congress
The United States Library of Congress in their American Memory collection has a digital collection of 623 railroad maps up through 1900. The scans are high-quality and resolution is good. See if they have a map for your area of interest.
I spent hours at the LOC map site last night! Thanks for reminding us of this resource. Even tho the FHL library has the Yazoo County, MS land ownership on 2 fiche, I saw the original at the LOC site. The fiche are black and white, while the original is in COLOR. It is much easier to read.
