Conservation maps online. (News & Events).
The Library of Congress offers a new web site, Conservation and
Environmental Maps, which provides historic and recent maps of land use
and exploration in the United States. These maps will be of great
interest to ecologists as they show "changes in the landscape,
including natural and man-made features, recreational and wilderness
areas, geology, topography, wetland area, vegetation, and
wildlife." http:// lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/ cnsvhome.html.
