Todd,
I only have a little bit of experience with this, but here are a few tools I've
tinkered with:
MapWarper ? http://mapwarper.net ? convert scanned maps or aerial photos into
“georectified” images by identifying points on the map that correlate to known
GIS coordinates. You don’t have to know the coordinates ? you can select them
from a Google‐style street map or other online map. The “warping” part refers
to the automated process of adjusting for differences in the map projection.
Georeferencer ? http://www.georeferencer.com is very similar.
MapKnitter ? https://mapknitter.org ? Georectified maps, such as those
produced by MapWarper (above) can be stitched together to create larger maps.
Especially useful for aerial photos.
[Shameless plug: I went on a mapping-for-DH binge last year and wrote a brief
comparative summary of the tools I worked with:

I hope this helps,
Ken

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Interactive map development question
Hello Code4Lib,
The University of Florida is looking for help in the development of an
interactive map using a historical map as the base layer (St. Augustine, 1764,
http://ufdc.ufl.edu/USACH00236/00001). We found an example that has similar
functionality at Mt. Vernon,
https://www.mountvernon.org/plan-your-visit/map-of-the-estate-gardens/.
We have funding to support the development and I am wondering if anyone in the
community has worked with vendors/developers for similar projects. Other
suggestions are also welcome.
Thanks,
Todd
