The Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection (PCL 1.306) is a general collection of more than 250,000 maps covering all areas of the world. Many of the maps are included in our online catalog, UTNetCAT. More than 5,000 map images from our collection are also available online.
This site is a great resource for a truly extensive collection of online maps. The site has maps listed alphabetically or geographically, and special sections such as "maps of current interest." One particularly unique grouping is the library's historical map collection which offers maps of cities and countries as represented in specific years in the past. For example, a quick search results in a street map of New York City for 1695. The maps are mostly downloadable and printable, although larger file sizes can be a strain on some hardware. The maps can serve as primary sources, visual aides, and reference materials. This resource could be valuable to people with interests ranging from casual visitors to serious academic work.
