I thought I would pass these links out to the mail lists for their information. They are of on-line nautical charts and map resources I have found. If anyone has more, feel free to contribute. Best of wishes, Billy Markland Nautical Charts (very nice, prinicipally America waters) http://chartmaker.ncd.noaa.gov/csdl/ctp/abstract.htm That is the main page which has links to modern information that I thought some might find useful. The Historical Maps & Charts link is on the left side and the collection is extensive. http://www.libs.uga.edu/darchive/hargrett/maps/maps.html The University of Georgia's Hargrett Library. http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/gmdhome.html The Library of Congress Map Collection home page http://www.cronab.demon.co.uk/marit.htm Not maps nor charts but a fantastic research site on maritime history! http://www.davidrumsey.com/view.html David Rumsey Map Collection ... a bit clunky to get around but what a wide variety of maps! http://hcl.harvard.edu/maps/cart/ >From Harvard University, a collection of links including the above. Surprisingly, none of Harvard's maps are on-line. If they are, they are well hidden. http://www.unc.edu/awmc/ Ancient World Mapping Center by the University of North Carolina. Their on-line maps are of the ancient world (and very interesting) but their collection of other mapping resources is fantastic. http://www.masshist.org/exhibitions/mfi.cfm >From the Massachusetts Historical Society. Great maps from the French & Indian War era! http://xroads.virginia.edu/~MAP/map_hp.html#online The University of Virginia link to mapping web resources. I believe, without cross-referencing, that all the above are named at this location. Particularly visit the University of Texas collection at: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/histus.html http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/map/index.htm The Digital Library of Virginia has some very nice Virginia oriented maps. Particularly of interest are the Board of Public Works Inventory collection which features maps of many, if not all, of the VA counties. And of course, for the topographical freaks amongst us, these sites: http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form US Geological Service National Mapping Information query site http://www.topozone.com/findplace.asp Topozone I cannot find my link to the Microsoft sponsored aerial / satellite photo database but it is very cool.
