A gateway to 16,000 articles, multimedia, a new dictionary, and our world atlas. The Library of Congress in Washington, DC maintains the largest collection of maps in the world. A portion of this collection, consisting of vintage maps of cities and towns in the United States, is available here.
Maps range from broad panoramas to close-up views of individual streets and buildings.
Most of the maps date from the 19th century. Map size and zoom rate are adjustable.
