Library of Congress: Maps and Cartiographic Items

The Map Collections contains "Americana and Cartographic Treasures" from the Library of Congress, that were taken from multitudes of maps and atlases from the Geography and Map Division. The Map Collections page of the website (http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/gmdhome.html) introduces the reader to the many different categories of exquisitly drawn and detailed maps of The United States of America during its early centuries. When I first came across this webpage, I was very interested in observing maps from the early centuries of The United States, and I was pleased to see such a large collection of maps from around the world as well.
