The viewer contains a selection of historical maps from the historical map collection that have been georeferenced and layered over a current basemap. The transparency of the historical map can be manipulated to compare the two layers. Currently represented regions include Mississippi, Louisiana, the eastern United States, and Central and South America.

The Open Parks Network beta web site is available here:
