Reference: Resource Maps

I’ve scanned resource maps for all the continents (except Antarctica) in order to aid mapmakers in the placement of resources when creating Earth maps. The files are large because of the resolution required to capture smaller details on the maps.

(Note that in addition to resources, the maps also include data on land use.)

The source material also contains physical, climactic, political, population, vegetation and rainfall maps, as well as detailed country maps. (I haven’t posted them, as they would take up too much memory—obviously, in the case of country maps—and there are plenty of political and topographical world maps online. If you really need the other data, PM me.)

Excellent collection, but this should be in the C&C forum - maybe in one of the stickied research threads...


btw, you need to remove the "..." and retype the text that it replaces, else the link won't work. That's the drawback to cutting & pasting long links.

I get an error message when I click on the link:

Not Found
The requested URL /download...source_Maps.zip was not found on this server.

If you could fix the link you'd make me happy... I need this...

Very good idea Merci beaucoup

Okay, fixed.

Thanks man, I'm downloading it now...

Tell me how it works out.

Will try to get the thread stickied.

I listed all the resources shown in these maps in sourboy's thread:

If you DL the maps, could you post an opinion here? I would just like to know how helpful it is.

thanks for the reference since you said antarctica I just had to say that antarctica has coal deposits but I have know clue were they are.
