As soon as you have selected the image to view, choose "Download Map" on the pop-up screen menu.

Remember to do this each time you open a new image selection. It will allow you to view the entire image by scrolling, instead of by pushing "zoom" and "arrow" buttons.

The Index Sheet provides an alphabetical list of streets (usually including block numbers) and prominent buildings, labeled "specials." The index refers you to the sheet number for that address or building. For further searching tips, use the "Frequently Asked Questions" section located in the Help Index.

Using the example below, Niagara Street can be located on a number of sheets. If you choose the section on Sheet Number 11, you can see a map that includes this particular portion of Niagara Street. Niagara Square is included on Sheets 11, 15, and 16. See the example showing the same locations using the Key Sheet.

This is a small portion of Sheet 11 showing a section along Niagara Street. You may download the image that you develop on the screen using either the "Save Image as," "Save Picture as," or you may save the entire Map Sheet 11 by using the "Download Map" link at the top of your browser window (opens the map as a pdf, which can be zoomed in/out).

Downloading allows you to save the file to your computer or jump drive.

You may also print the current view using the "Print Current View" selection at the top of your browser window.

Additonal notes: You cannot move between Map Sheets without going back to the main index page.

For some cities and towns, the Key Sheet and Index Sheet are on the same sheet.
