On-line Atlases

  • National Geographic Atlas This is probably the best on-line atlas out there for our purposes. Not only can you see where places are located but you can also print out some outline maps to practice on.
  • Maps from the University of Texas at Austin
    • If you don't have an atlas, these maps might come in handy when you're studying for the map questions on the exams.
  • Mapquest
    • This is a cool site that allows you to look up any address in the United States. It's also a nice demonstration of scale. Zoom in on your home and then zoom back out to a map of the United States
  • Maps of Colorado
    • Use these to help visualize major cities and transportation routes while making your maps of AIDS diffusion and later in the semester when you analyze the Amendment 2 vote.
