Olde World Style Maps by homeschoolinthewoods.com: A Review
In this year of reviews I have received tons of help on math, reading and spelling and just a little of geography. This site, homeschoolinthewoods.com is going to fill in that gap I need for geography lessons.
The price is right for this product. A lot of work has gone into preparing maps in several different formats to fit different needs.

Determine locations of countries, cities, landforms, rivers,
and bodies of water in relation to the world around them!
