e-Atlas resources

Maps, maps, maps

With the changes in world geopolitical arrangements (Crimea anyone?!) printed atlases may not be up-to-date. Many electronic resources can fill that gap, and may even replace your print-book versions. Here are some sources to explore:
World Book:
Sometimes teachers forget that there is an atlas built into WB encyclopedia. From the maps, you can jump to detailed articles on each country.

Atlas of Canada:

CanGeo atlas

NatGeo MapMachine

EarthTools & Map Coords (long and lat)

Worldatlas (Some advertising)
