This is a study of local roads in two villages in the interior of Småland to see how much of the older road network can be found by studying maps from the 19th century, today's digital maps with height shading and Fornsök's map service. The introduction will be a review of other people's studies and their results that are used to be able to answer three questions.1- How to distinguish older roads from newer ones?2 -Which method can be used to determine the age of roads using maps?3 -How can you distinguish older hiking trails or other guides in map material?Throughout the texts show that ancient monuments are often close to older roads and that our roads today go the same routes as before. Locally in the villages, the rural roads are fewer today than what is seen on the oldest map from 1814 and to get a grip on changes and events, a method used by Kalle Måhl used in Gotland villages will be used together with Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger phenomenology archaeological theory. The theory is based on the fact that we have the same spatial perception based on bodily experiences in terms of direction and scale. The method means that you look at today's roads and compare them with the 1843 map in my case, note changes and compare these with the older map from 1814. With facts from Fornsök, you can analyze the changes and get a result. The result in this case with Bodaryd, Uggleryd and their road network is that they existed at least in 1549 as two farms and that the emerging villages were split by law change 1814-1843 with a number of scattered farms and several smaller settlements in the forests that today only exist as ancient finds in Fornsök. In addition, the connection between a registered hollow road and the rural roads has been established, however, there is only a theoretical connection to an unregistered hollow road that is without connections on the maps.
