Google and National Geographic are teaming up to share over 500 of the maps created by National Geographic Magazine. Using Google Maps, people will be able to browse freely though these maps, such as this one on Medieval England, which was created in 1979:

The public data program gives us the opportunity to release our amazing map collection to the wider world.”
