Some cool Map sites

[Hussar]

Here are some of the sites I use for maps:

www.aginsinn.com/html - very good tiles. Great for battle maps.

The Large Scale Mapping Project - www.geocities.com/blood_tyger/lsm/lsm.html - has some very well made maps.

www.fattyboombatty.com/maps.htm - a fantastic source for real maps - aerial photos, sat photos, the works. Also has links to the JPL (Jet Propusion Labs) which have fantastic photos.

And of course there's Wizard's Map-A-Week at www.wizards.com

What are some of your sites for maps?

The Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress holds more than 4.5 million items, of which Map Collections represents only a small fraction, those that have been converted to digital form.

The focus of Map Collections is Americana and Cartographic Treasures of the Library of Congress. These images were created from maps and atlases and, in general, are restricted to items that are not covered by copyright protection.

Map Collections is organized according to seven major categories. Because a map will be assigned to only one category, unless it is part of more than one core collection, searching Map Collections at this level will provide the most complete results since the indexes for all categories are searched simultaneously. Maps can now be downloaded.
