It is so rewarding to read (or at least to keep track of) blogs in the virtual topical neighborhood. (Hint, hint: the links section on the right now sports my former Austria-Hungary genealogy blog roll.)

This is how I found a maps resource that was unknown to me. Lisa in her Take a trip back in time post mentioned the 1880 atlas by Hatsek to be available. She came to know it after reading Juliana (Szucs) Smith's Using Ancestry: Surprises in Great-grandpa’s Naturalization post on Ancestry.com's 24/7 Family History Circle blog.

These maps of Hungary's counties in 1880 available on the maproom.org site were published by Ignácz Hátsek.

The Hatsek atlas is not the only atlas available online. Besides the county maps from the Pallas lexicon there are Gönczy maps, early 1900s, the Görög maps, early 1800s, and the 1800 Atlas Regni Hungariae.
