Washington, D.C.
Here is a well put together map of all kinds of things in Washington, D.C. It is a little laggy and not especially pleasing to the eyes, but it is something that I feel this course has enabled me to create on my own.

I found a map of the Appalachian Trail which allows you to click certain "layers" or "symbols" to show where certain amenities are located throughout the trail. I found this at http://www.appalachiantrail.org/hiking/find-a-hike/interactive-map

This is an interactive map with playback buttons of European history. Its not too fancy looking, but I like how there are useful functions ("show modern political boundaries," hover to see more info., click to read article). It can be found at http://www.worldology.com/Europe/europe_history_lg.htm
