Note: Use of the David Rumsey Collection can be slow and frustrating, depending on your Internet connection. However, the maps in the MrSID format can be downloaded directly, but apparently this only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer, and not Netscape. See each map below. 1. Click to view collection with "insight™ Browser” (get free download if needed), and follow online directions. Note: BrowserInsight requires popup blocking be disabled to function properly. 2. Search by keywords: “New Orleans Louisiana”; submit. 3. Double-click on image of map. Portions can be saved as bmp files, which can be converted to jpg files.
