A.1 Mapping Resources

There are many free internet-based mapping resources available or both public and commercial use.

Some of the mapping web sites on the Internet include:

1. Google: http://maps.google.com/
2. MapQuest: http://www.mapquest.com/
3. Yahoo: http://maps.yahoo.com/
4. Bing: http://www.bing.com/maps
5. Rand McNally: http://randmcnally.com

It is easier to use these web sites to accommodate a smaller utility than larger utilities. However, the mapping sites are easy to use and large-scale sections can be printed out and taped together to create a mosaic map. However, depending on the size of the water utility, piecing together a map can be a time-consuming process.
