Hint for getting the region correct:

Use v.in.region to rectify a box showing where your data will end up,
and then rectify the raster to this fine tuned region.


in the source location:  (nad83)

d.zoom
v.in.region out=region_box

in the target location:  (nad27)

v.proj in=region_box
g.region vect=region_box
r.proj in=old_map


good luck,
Hamish
