There are many very good NC maps available that cover all its time periods.
- For your personal research, start at NCGS (no need to sign in). Read the detail on the various types of information available.
- County boundaries changed over time, so see the interactive map at Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. Link takes you to Chatham County
- Sanborn fire insurance maps were very detailed and available at the UNC Library. Example: no maps for Chatham County or its two cities, so see Trinity College in Randolph County.
- David Rumsey. Historical maps of the entire world.
- Library of Congress maps at LoC. Also has other visualizations; see this list
- USGS topographical maps showing creeks and rivers.
- Gazetteers that list historical and geographic names.
