Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about Thebes came from various goverment sources (GNIS, US Census, FIPS), we also found mention of Thebes in various books, maps and other sources.

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Thebes. We hope that they will be useful to you.

Note: Initially, we were careless about keeping track of where our Thebes data came from. The following list of references and mentions is incomplete.
