Historic Georgia Maps
As part of the Georgia Virtual Vault, the GA Secretary of State's office has put historic Georgia Maps online. There are maps of 161 GA counties (some no longer in existence) that date from 1866-1935. You can browse a list of maps, or search the database in categories such as title, publisher, year, notes, etc.

Thanks for posting this resource - this is awesome.
Another website I've found useful is the Historical Atlas of Georgia Counties at http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/histcountymaps/index.htm. The style and level of detail varies widely, but they are often useful "thumbnail" maps of a county at a particular time. I've also found them useful for locating communities that no longer exist yet are given as a family's residence on census forms.
