Washington Co. > Formation of Washington County

The maps below show the formation of Washington County and its subsequent subdivisions. Notice how an early settler living near what is now the town of Abingdon might have left records in 3 counties between 1770 and 1778 without moving once.  The maps are from a wonderful program called Ani-map and are used with the developer's permission. See http://www.goldbug.com/store/animap3.html for more information.

Use the middle box (controls are below the map) to stop and start the slide show. To move through the images at your own speed use the left and right arrows.  You can also use the thumbnails to select a particular map.
