More Maps

For your cartographic pleasure you might check out nationalaltlas.gov which offers extensive interactive mapping capabilities. If you've always wanted to know the distribution of West Nile cases in humans across the country or the value of various nursery crops grown for sale in various regions of Colorado (and lots more too!) then National Atlas is the place to go. The site also has this neat little time-lapse animation (shockwave required) that illustrates the seasonal "greening" of America as seen from NOAA satellites.

Over at the U.S. Geological Survey there are some other neat maps, including this one which combines the topology of the United States with a geologic survey of the various types and ages of rocks to be found in our eternally interesting land.

If your interests run more political then you'll want to check out Fair Plan. Need help targeting your GOTV efforts? Want to graphically see the percentage of non-voting registered voters in the over 18 population within your precinct? Then you should find Fair Plan's interactive maps based on historical election data quite helpful.
