Using the drop-down menus on the left brings up all sorts of interesting
maps, all of which are zoomable.

A marvellous resource which will probably consume far too much of my time
:-)

Cartophiles unite! Thank you very much indeed for this source, Norman.
My father bequeathed me a huge number of old maps to which I have added.
Looking at maps is my default activity at all times.

One very addictive feature is that using the slider at the bottom of the menu
panel you can switch between the map and modern day satellite imagery on the
same scale. With the slider half-way you can see both. Fascinating stuff.
