We now have Census Tract Outline Maps (Census 2000) on-line in Adobe Acrobat PDF. Printed paper Census 2000 Tract maps are sold by the Customer Services Center.
The American FactFinder's Reference Map feature is the only on-line mapping engine at the Census Bureau that shows both 1990 and Census 2000 Census Tract boundaries, Census Tract numbers, and street names.
The TIGER Map Service, will show 1990 Census Tract and Block Group boundaries and streets, but WILL NOT show the Census Tract or Block Group numbers or street names on the map.
LandView 5 and 6, simple mapping applications available on CD-ROM and DVD have Census 2000 Tract boundaries, tract numbers and street names.
Printed paper maps are available through the Customer Services Center.
We don't have the resources nor the mandate to produce custom maps on demand. The U.S.Geological Survey has topographic maps are available in digital form, i.e. Digital Raster Graphics (DRG) both from USGS and at least one private company. If you have graphics software like Paint or Corel Draw, etc. and a color printer you MAY be able to cut and paste an image file from the map to WordPerfect as a graphic.

We do not give driving directions between points nor do we have street, bus or subway maps. We do not have maps of hiking trails. However, there are a number of commercial sites that do. Try looking for them with one of the Web search engines using the key word "maps".

The map images you can download from this site are in the public domain and you are free to use them as you choose. They aren't meant to be imported into other mapping or GIS packages. They can be imported into many graphics or paint packages where they can be further manipulated to a limited extent. If you want the base data for use in your GIS or other mapping package visit our TIGER® Page for information on the TIGER/Line® products. We also have some cartographic boundary files available for download.

We don't have maps of other countries. We do not have map data for the entire world,
we're only concerned with the United States.
Try this links for possible sources of world
data:
Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection at the University of Texas.

We do not have maps that show property lines or that show ownership of property.
Your local county/city tax assessment office is the place to look.

We do not have ZIP Code maps, nor do we have digital boundary files for ZIP Codes
(nor, to our knowledge, does the Post Office). The fact that ZIP Codes aren't required
to be polygons makes them difficult to map.

We do not have general purpose city, county or state maps. If you are looking for general
purpose maps for use as graphic images, try some of the commercial clip art collections
(some have both vector and raster images) or graphics design packages. Some of the word
processing software suites also have them. A good source for general purpose paper and
digital maps is the U.S. Geological Survey, they
are also the source of geological and
land use maps. Also, try your state/local Department of Transportation. For
nautical charts, try the National Ocean Service.
We do not have historical census maps available online. We do have paper copies of census
tract maps dating from the 1960 Census available for purchase from our Jeffersonville, Indiana
office at 812-288-3402.
We do not have maps showing historical county boundaries. We understand that there are
sites on the Web with this information but we don't know how accurate their information is.
