Note: These maps are large. The idea was to print them out to turn them in. But I went ahead and put them on my web site. Just note the size of them and realize they could take a while to display.

United States, 2000 Census Data (383k) Teachers Comments: This is a very thorough and attractive map. 96% A. I'm curious what it would take to get 100%, but it looks like I'll never find out. United States, 1861 (209k) Teachers Comments: This is a very neat, complete and thorough map. My only concern, and it is minor, is that the territorial boundary of Nevada was a bit to the west of the state boundary, which is what you show. Your east coast is also a bit crowded. 95% A. The more glaring error is the southern border of Nevada. It was even with the northern border of the New Mexico and Indian Territory. I played around a lot with fonts to get the east coast to work better, but my printer wouldn't allow me to use smaller font and still be legible. I did a lot of research here to ensure state capitals were right as of 1861. North America, circa 1680 (151k) Teachers Comments: This is for the most part, a very thorough and attractive map. 94% A. I questions what he meant by "most part," he said it didn't include Louisiana Territory. I said LaSalle didn't explore the Mississippi until 1682. He said 1682 is circa 1680, I said so is 1680. He said there were explorations prior to 1680, I said yes, Marquette and Joliet explored the Mississippi as far as the Arkansas River, but lost the maps on the way back to Quebec, so the claims were never made. He said they made claims without exploration. I said maybe so, but that would be like the Virginia Colonies claim that their boundary extended to the Pacific, they could make the claim, but you wouldn't draw a map that way. That was the end of our discussion.
