Maps

Hargrett Library Rare Map Collection
www.libs.uga.edu/darchive/hargrett/maps/maps.html
This University of Georgia site features maps depicting the New World, Colonial and Revolutionary America, Revolutionary Georgia, Union & Expansion, the American Civil War, Frontier to New South, Savannah & the Coast and Transportation. Maps have been scanned in at a large scale, so you may need to adjust their size in an image-editing program before printing.

Library of Congress Map Collection
memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/gmdhome.html
You'll find historical maps galore on this site. The LOC has divvied up its digital map collection into seven categories: Cities and Towns, Cultural Landscapes, Military Battles and Campaigns, Conservation and the Environment, Discovery and Exploration, Transportation and Communication and General Maps. Almost all the maps can be downloaded. (Read more about these maps in the June 2001 Family Tree Magazine.)

www.lib.utexas.edu/maps
The collection includes both historical and present-day maps of the Americas and the world. Click on US to go to a page of links for each state. Among the historical map groups are Early Inhabitants, Exploration and Settlement, US Territorial Growth, Military History Maps and Later Historical Maps.
