Just about every USGS DRG topographic map that was liberated is now available on the Internet Archive. This weekend I updated the Libre Map Project web site to point to the Internet Archive hosted DRG’s. I also splurged and bought libremap.org which is where the site now resides.

You can now use libremap.org to search geonames (towns, mountains, etc.) and it will return the appropriate DRG. Or you can just get a listing of the every DRG map for each state.

It is nice to finally make these maps available. Thanks again to the 100+ contributors that helped liberate these Public Domain maps. Happy downloading!

DRG Maps that over 100 contributors recently helped me liberate, are starting to become available on the Internet Archive.  They are still working out some technical kinks, and I’m not sure every map has been moved over to the server yet, but for everyone that has been eager to see progress, I thought I’d share a link.

The main Internet Archive maps page is here.

I’ve gone ahead and registered libremap.org which is where the Libre Map Project will now live.  I’ll be updating it soon to point to the maps hosted on the Internet Archive.  This will allow you to search for geonames (points of interest) to find the appropriate USGS DRG map file.
