  • topographic maps up to a scale of 1:250,000, as well as of 1:50,000
  • plans for major cities
  • gazetteers published by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, and national and regional toponymic gazetteers from other countries and publishers
  • travel guides (Baedecker, Blue Guides, Fodors, Insight, Lonely Planet, Michelin and Rand McNally)
  • publications on international boundaries, including from the International Boundary Research Unit (Durham, UK)
