Boston Flats - 3 historic maps

[SmilesAndGimps]

These are three separate maps of the same locale, set every 80 years starting with the Gold Rush in 1849. It's meant to be a small Gold Country town in the California foothills that grew very sparingly over the years, as many smaller towns have. The earliest map is sparsely colored and highlights claims, which would have been important back then. The next map has more colors and shows ground cover. The claims from the previous map are retained in name only, turning now into mills, estates, etc. Many streets are also labeled. And the most modern of the three is in "Google Maps" style. All done in Photoshop.

That's a good concept. I like the very believable progression.
