::The USGS has put together an interactive site utilizing its historical topographic map collection. Users can simply type in a location and the site will guide you to a place. Human and geologic activity change sites, borders, boundaries, landscapes and the power of this site is that it allows the user to explore a location by comparing maps created at different dates.
