Zoom Into Maps

The Library of Congress Geography and Map Division has introduced a new web site called Zoom Into Maps. The site provides a sampling of many maps from its American Memory online collection. The site is broken down into several sections including Exploration, Migration and Settlement, Military and Pictoral maps. The site is intended to increase general knowledge about maps and by doing so, provides an interesting portal into a sampling of maps from the library’s enormous collection of digitized antique maps
