ABOUT this listing

(click here for an argument that many web images serve no useful purpose, and for examples of imaginative uses of online technology)


This page was created on 4 February 2001 (as a single page) and split into twelve separate pages in January 2003

Last updates 22 May 2003


You can search across all the pages in the Web Images section (and, indeed, across the entire site).

Notes on image quality:-
  • high resolution, enabling every place-name to be easily read - search for: high res.
  • medium resolution, enabling some names to be read
  • low resolution, with the names illegible

  • 'slow loading' refers to the experience with a standard 56K modem
  • Oddens' Bookmarks is including an increasing number of single maps from early atlases and series [this page is concerned with sites only] so it is well worth checking there if you are looking for a specific early map. For further details see About the listing of early map image sites; and for map images issued in CD-ROM form see Boudewijn Meijer's Map Reference page
