I found an 1868 map for Florida, Montgomery County, New York and marked it with the "Dwelling house numbered in the order of visitation".  It is easy to see how the 1870 U.S. Federal Census enumerator moved around Florida township recording families for the U.S. Census Bureau.  

On the attached map, 1868 Florida, Montgomery County, New York I have placed a purple line beneath the name of my 2nd-great-grandfather, D. (Daniel) Young, and the number 107 in blue.  His dairy farm is to the west of the town name, MINAVILLE P.O. on the map.  House number 107, on the enumeration sheet, gives his information. 1870 US Federal Census_Florida, Montgomery County, New York This might be of interest to anyone who had ancestors in that place at that time.  

Where could I place it on WikiTree for others to view? And, HOW do I make them accessible on WikiTree???

You could create a free-space page for the map and explanation, and then include a link to the page on the profiles of the people who were enumerated there.   Here's a link to the Help page for free-space profiles: Help:Free-Space Profile (wikitree.com)  

There is a Montgomery County Project, Montgomery County, New York (wikitree.com) so that would be another place you could attach the information

Absolutely, put it on a free space page.

I found several interesting folks last year working on the guest star challenge, living next door to my ancestors, and put together this one https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Northern_Cayuga_County_Maps_-_Where_Ancestors_Settled

L., you might also like the earlier map found at: https://www.loc.gov/item/2013593280/

I have been looking at the Young family for its connection to the Foote/Frisbee/Liddle families of nearby Duanesburg.  As it happens, I live not far from Young's Corners.  Daniel lived in a beautiful place, with views of the Schoharie Valley and Bean Hill.  We drive by there often.  I'll take some pictures the next time I go by.
