Introduction
The following are selections from the vast online cartographic resources of
the Library of Congress (LOC), featuring North America from 1715 through 1818.
Under each maps headingcomposed of date, attributed author, and source
users will find a link (URL) that will lead directly to the map on the LOC website,
where the map can be enlarged and centered on any area. Also under the
heading, researchers will find, when available, a second link that will lead to
biographical information about the attributed author. Note that although antique
maps are generally no longer under copyright protection, each user must
necessarily decide whether to seek permission for republication and how to
attribute items properly.
