BASE & REFERENCE MAPS

[BACK]

This table contains links to external web sites having many different kinds of maps.   Some of these may be useful to you either for reference, or for use as a base to which you add your own annotations.  If you are using an MS DOS platform you may find it easier to locate a specific topic that interests you by using the "Control-F" find function.

Be sure to remember, however, that external sites are somebody else's property; if you use their material in your own creations, you MUST 1) cite the source under any circumstance (see Walker), and 2) obtain and retain the owner's permission if you post their work (even if you have modified it) on your web page.  Failure to do so is plagerism and a copyright violation.
