I love maps!

I love maps.  I love to look at where I am going.  I also love to see what places were like before and why.  As an educator, finding good historical black-line maps for my students has always been a goal.  There are several great books out there, but also some pretty good websites.  two of my favorites are:

Edu Place <http://www.eduplace.com/ss/maps/> : These maps are clear and print clean.  I often use their historical maps with my students and I love that they include a filled in map on their site.

Online Map Bank: <http://www.phschool.com/curriculum_support/map_bank/>:  This site has pdfs of maps that are in a book that Pearson/Prentice Hall made.  Unfortunately the maps do not print out as clean and they do not come with keys.  But there is a much wider selection of maps.  I have used the book many times and have used the website so that I can create soft-copy versions of the maps.

Do you have an awesome site to find black-line maps or other map resources?  Please share!!!
