Created and maintained by the Landmark Information Group, this Website offers roughly 85,000 images of historical maps of regions of the UK. "The maps are dated between 1846 and 1899, and are of 1:10,560 scale." To ease navigation, Landmark has supplied a County Name Gazetteer. The counties are named as they existed around 1850. Selecting a county will present users with a gazetteer of towns" -- 40,000 of which are cross-referenced by the name of the region today. This is a useful resource not only for geographers, but for anyone doing research involving the topography and nomenclature of Victorian England, Scotland, and Wales. No additional applications are needed to view the maps, but the Website recommends a minimum resolution of 1024x768.
