Ancestry Library - photos and maps

After talking with Julie I was able to navigate to the photos and maps section of Ancestry.  I did a search on South Dakota in the panoramic maps section and that turned up 151 records.  There were amazing photos from many of the SD towns, Rapid City, Lead, Sioux Falls, Yankton, Deadwood, etc. There were also photos of Indian Schools and a stock parade. All of the photos seemed to be from the late 1800s through early 1900s. I also looked at a couple of the maps, I just love old maps! There seems to be alot of stuff kind of hidden away in this database. I'm glad I found the links to other things besides the name search. I'll probably have to go back and look at the photos of the old ships because that sounds really cool also!
