Maryland Map Collection

Down in the Old Line state, the good folks at the University of Maryland 's Special Collections department have digitized over 110 maps that document the state's geography. The materials here are drawn from their Maryland Map Collection, which contains over 2500 different map titles. The site is easy to navigate, and visitors can browse around through thematic sections that include "Cities/Towns", "Counties", "States", "Railroads", and "Waterways". A brief narrative introduction on the site's homepage tells about highlights such as their 1590 map of the Chesapeake Bay and the dramatic bird's eye view of Baltimore published in 1869. Also, the site includes several maps which document the natural resources and geological landforms of the state. Finally, the site is rounded out by a selected bibliography of sources related to Maryland maps.
