Does anybody know of a place where I could find the old CD maps for the past 50 years or so.  I just want to see how districts have changed across the country, and namely, Minnesota.

If you could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

I'd like to see how the California districts changed over the years too.

Find old editions of the Almanac of American Politics. They go back to 1966 or so, and include CD maps.

Thanks for the link Smiley

I like how the maps are so neat and orderly. But having counties as equal units regardless of population was very undemocratic. The same thing happened here in New England where most State Assemblies had one seat for each town until the 1960's. Its just like the rotten borough problem in England.

I had heard of Klamath County, CA before, but had never seen where it was till now. It was abolished circa 1880.
