I'll never get around to drawing every map that needs drawing, so here are
other maps on other sites drawn by other people. And remember -- these are all
external sites, so don't blame them for problems you may have discovered on my
site, and vice versa.
I don't have a search engine here, but if you're curious about a particular
topic, you might want to use [CONTROL]-[F],
and then type in a simple keyword(s), like croatia or world war
or (****.
Remember: history is an intersection of time and place, so to find maps of
an event, be sure to check both Time and Place. To find maps of Medieval
England, for example, check both the Middle Ages and
Great Britain.

(**) Single map, very detailed. Maybe two or three.
(*) Single map, basic information. May be useful for homework assignments.
(@) Animated maps.
(#) Above-average interactivity.
NOTE: I'm not judging the quality of these maps, only the quantity. I'm
trying to assess the amount of work that went into them and the amount of
information you're likely to get back. And I'm only assessing the maps
themselves, not the non-cartographic information accompanying them on the site.
(A one-star map could easily illustrate a five-star essay.)
Also, my primary purpose here is to locate and link to historical maps
(those which illustrate history) rather than antique maps (those which
originated long ago) -- although there is quite a bit of overlap.
