This is a map of Greensboro, NC 1851, that I'm using, and cross referencing with a Windows Live Local satellite map.
I have been able to locate some of the areas with the same existing street names, allot has changed over the years with urban sprawl. The map/website has helped me pinpoint the older areas of town, there may be a few
of the old homesteads still intact. Most places are paved over, or developed. Just thought I would post the way I'm searching my area. I have not found the hot spot yet though. I have beeb thinking of searching in the middle of a clover leaf intersection ( leaf), It may have been a park at one time.
