Web sites for Norwegian maps showing farms

Legg inn av John Reindl » 03 apr 2005 00:32:11

Hi ~

Can anyone recommend some good web sites of searchable maps of Norway
that include farm names? As an example, the farm I am looking for is in
Stor Elvdal in Hedmark fylke, just south of Koppang, known as Vestgard.

Thanks,

John

Hi, John.

Travelgenie (google 'em, I don't know the URL offhand) used to sell
the Statens Kartverk 50,000:1 maps. I have several of Hedmark. See
which one you need & let me know, and I'll see if it's one that I
have. I have mostly Ringsaker and Nes, and maybe one map to the
east of those.

Hi John --

I've used a service not intended for genalogy, but still rather
informative when showing where stuff are *today* - the newspaper
Aftenposten has a online classified section called "Finn" (Find).

As part of that service they have a "find place" service - and
that allows you to search by street address in the cities, and
by matrikkelnumber in the countryside.

Check it out here:

http://www.finn.no/kart/

Both searchable and zoomable to the level where you can see
individual farms.


Above the map there are six boxes. The leftmost three are for
finding addresses in cities and towns:
Street
Street no
Postal code

The rightmost three can find properies in the countryside:
Knr - kommunenummer (municipal code)
GNr - Gardsnummer
BNr - Bruksnummer

Gardsnummer (farm id no) and Bruksnummer (subfarm) you find from
bygdebok or census.

The kommunenummer you can find from e.g. http://www.ssb.no/kommuner/
or http://www.ssb.no/kommuner/komkat2005fylkevis.html

If the search doesn't work, you can still find the rough locality
of the municiapality from the ssb.no webpage, and then just zoom in
on the finn.no map in that area and search for your farm.

I can see quite a few individual farms when I zoom in to the map
covering 35000 meters (20 miles) east to west. If you zoom in even
further, you'll find Vestgard on the west side of the river, imme-
diately south of Koppang

Here is a direct link, tinyfied a bit - the string of parameters are
137 characters long :-)

Enjoy!

Use:
http://ngis2.statkart.no/norgesglasset/default.html

Choose "Stedsnavn"
In "Søk etter stedsnavn" write Vestgard
Søk

In the list, choose Vestgard - Stor-Elvdal

Move the Zoom-arrow to soon out or in.

Hm.I find Norgesglasset even better,

http://ngis2.statkart.no/norgesglasset/default.html

Just press the button with Norway, and zoom in to the part needed.
When zoomed enough, you get to the economical maps of 1:5000

I also like the web site http://www.multimap.com/ which allows a very fine

detail.
Search for Stor Elvdal as a "town" and you'll find it in Hedmark.

HI!
Go to: http://www.hvor.no Type the place (Vestgard). You will get a list of the counties with a farm named Vestgard. Select Hedmark, you will get a list og communities with a farm named Vestgard. Select Stor-Elvdal and you will get the farm you are looking for. Regards John.

"Norgesglasset" is the map survey's official resource, and it even has
English menus (select from the top-right corner).
