Web Maps

The first Library of Congress Web Map publications debuted in 2022 and they continue to expand through today. Staff of the Geography & Map Division publish Web Maps to help patrons discover collection materials in a map-based interface and to visualize and interact with geospatial collection items. We invite you to explore the collection material of the Geography & Map Division through the Web Maps below. The Geography & Map Division actively supports the creation of Web Maps across the Library and encourages you to explore all Library of Congress Web Maps.
