Public Domain Maps

Here are two public domain maps useful for making presentations on the ancient Mediterreanean world.

Adolf Harnack,
The Spread of Christianity
down to 180 A.D.

Because of the time elapsed since the copyright date, these maps are now in the public domain.

Xerox Parc,
Unlabeled Outline Map of Mediterranean

This map was created using the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center Map Generator. Because it used public data, the maps produced are in the public domain. Unfortunately, the PARC Map Generator has been deactivated. Click on the map to see a larger version. You can edit the map to add your own labels.

Be sure to try Google Maps for relatively recent maps and satellite imagery.

A major map site is Oddens's Bookmarks. It has thousands of links.

Also, Periodical Historical Atlas of Europe

Also, check out National Geographic's map site and map machine. The map machine contains historical maps (maps from previous centuries).

Some useful blank maps are available here, courtesy of Cynthia Kosso.
