Geography Web Links

This geography-related website addresses much more than transportation. It has many links to historic cartography and map collections; map skills lessons and activities; information and games on the U.S., the continents, and oceans; geography quizzes; and much more. (Thanks to Tyler for letting me know about the site!)

Seterra is a geography game with  more than 100 different geography exercises. This is a free site that you can access online or download to your computer. It drills on states, countries, and capitals, but also covers provinces and territories within countries, oceans, lakes, rivers, flags, mountains, and important cities. It's a very simply designed program—click to assign a label to the correct location. Labels sometimes overlap each other, making it difficult to use, but it's still very good for a free resource.
