Need Internet photo of Uppland

[Karen Kelsey]

I am writing our Kelsey (Källström) family history and we would like to visit the area that from which they came, but I'm having a hard time finding the towns on a map. I get very confused between läns, provinces, parishes and towns!  The family says that they all came from Västmanland, but this is what I learned from a previous query:
--Karl Ersson Källström, born 1798 in Torstuna, Uppsala län (Uppland)-Karl emigrated 25-May 1846 from Syllby egor, Österunda, Uppsala län
county of birth: Västmanlands län (*Perhaps this line was meant for his wife, who was listed below)
--Stina Olsdotter, born 1796-08-07 in Torstuna, Uppsala län (Uppland)Västmanland
   Seven of their 8 children were born in Österunda, Uppsala län, Uppland (between 1822 and 1840), and four of them remained in Sweden.
   I'd like to identify where these towns are, and what the area looks like.  Is there a website that might have a photo of that area?  Karl was a shoemaker and a soldier, so I assume that the family lived in a village, not on a farm.  One of his sons, Carl Erik became a soldier too, and he took the surname of Jedin.
   Thanks in advance for any geographic information - or photos - that you can give to us!

You can see small detail maps at the Lantmäteriet mapsearch page.
 
Here is Torstuna:  http://www2.lantmateriet.se/ksos_eng/visaortnamn.jsp?id=1956330
 
If you zoom out to the General map you can see Österunda church 5 km (3 miles) north of Torstuna.
 
And since this seems to be in the Uppland/Västmanland border area the confusion may be because of border changes between Uppsala county and Västmanland county, that differed a little from the border between Uppland province and Västmanland province.

Thanks!  That map site was just what I needed.

Hej Karen,
You can see a picture of the Torstuna local history society building at http://www.hembygd.se/index.asp?lev=5680.  
 
At http://www.artportalen.se/birds/dagens.asp?artid=798 you can see what birds they've sighted there the past few days (in Swedish).  
 
If you have a look at Enköpings website at www.enkoping.se you can scroll down and click on Besöksguiden, which you can download with Adobe Acrobat Reader - it's in both English and Swedish and there are some pictures of the area, although perhaps not exactly from Torstuna.
Greetings
Barbara
