Well, you might mention our project, 19c/20c maps of Central / Eastern Europe.
http://igrek.amzp.pl/
and its participant sites, which have _many more_ hi-resolution maps, you just need to dig around a bit:

@ Leszek Pawlowicz and @ noah :

Please explore better. David Rumsey has FULL and FREE access to ALL the maps in Real Size !!!
This is in *.sid format

I download and print since 2004 from there.
Just open one map to watch, open it’s “properties”, and look to the bottom : “Link to the sid file”.
There you ‘ll find the full URL for all the folders by date of upload.

rumsey sucks… this is the internet you should be able to get some decent historical maps for free – everyone is pimping the smallest things nowadays and it is depressing

Rumsey and a few other similar sites are coming up soon; but Rumsey doesn’t have download links for high-res versions of his maps. Too bad.

Don’t forget David Rumsey’s website (www.davidrumsey.com). He has something like 10,000+ maps scanned and able to be freely downloaded.

Love the site! Thanks for all the work you do!

Cheers,
