Exploring Florida Maps
The Exploring Florida Maps collection contains over 2,500 historic and contemporary Florida maps that support all subject areas in the K-12 classroom. A friendly license allows teachers and students to use up to 25 maps in non-commercial school projects without further permission. All maps are available as GIF or JPEG files for screen display as well as in PDF for printing. Use the GIF or JPEG maps for classroom presentations and student websites. Use the PDF maps for displays, bulletin boards, and printed school reports. Many of the maps include interactive jigsaw puzzles and special KMZ files, which allow you to place the historic map as an overlay on Google Earth.
