American History Maps

[John Simkin]

MapMuse contains interactive mapping of American history topics. Some of the topics we have mapped are Civil War Battles, Civil War Sites, the Underground Railroad, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Presidential Birthplaces, Presidential Burial Sites, Presidential Libraries, and Railroad Attractions. The link to History Directory is as follows:

You can add additional information about places yourself including both text and photos. There is an Add and Edit feature on the site (it is very easy to do- you can refer to http://find.mapmuse.com/re1/mmFAQ.htm#A4 for complete instructions). Through this kind of community effort, it is hoped to have the most comprehensive, and descriptive maps for American history enthusiasts.
