How To Cite Our Maps

Whenever you share, publish, or display our maps (whether in a newspaper, blog post, presentation, video, article or report) please include proper credit.

Below are examples of how to cite or credit our maps in different contexts.

Hyperlink Requirement

When you use our maps on a website or in digital content, we require a hyperlink to the original map on our website. This not only gives proper credit but also helps others discover the map and explore our full collection.

Example HTML:

Map source: <a href="https://usmaps.com/zionsville-map-indiana/">Zionsville Map</a>

Basic Citation Format

Please use the following format when citing our maps:

[Map Title]. ([Year]). [Your Website Name]. [URL of the specific map page]

For example:

Zionsville Map, Indiana. (2025). US Maps. https://usmaps.com/zionsville-map-indiana/

Additional Information

• If you have modified a map, please note this in your citation (e.g., “adapted from”).
• For academic papers or publications, follow the citation style required by your institution or publisher. A hyperlink is still required for digital formats.
• You may use up to 10 maps from our website. This helps prevent duplication of our full collection elsewhere online. If you’d like to use more, please contact us and we will review requests on a case-by-case basis.
• If you are unsure how to cite our maps for your particular project, feel free to reach out for guidance.

Thank you for giving proper credit. Your support helps us continue creating and sharing quality maps.
