Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about Potsdam came from various goverment sources (GNIS, US Census, FIPS), we also found mention of Potsdam 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 Potsdam. We hope that they will be useful to you.
