I am trying to locate the farm Litlås in Vikøy Parish, Kvam, Hordaland, Norway. Haakon Torbjørnson lived there in the 1865 census. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Look across the fjord from Kvam on the current border between Ullensvang and Jondal. Times and borders change. It's Lilleås (Litlås historically in the bygdebok.)

If you spot Samlanes and Vassel on the map then you are REAL REAL close. Lilleås is also close to Storås. (Lille indicating little and Stor indicating big.)
