These are large (1920 x 1080 Full HD) screen captures from UIview and Delorme's
TopoUSA 8.0. Many browsers will try to downsize these images to
fit your screen, making the map details and labels an illegible blur,
if your computer's display is less than 1920 x 1080 HD
resolution.
Most modern
browers can be toggled to display the image full size by clicking in
the image area, or by choosing an image resize option from a pull-down
menu. You will then get a clear display, but only part of the
map will show. Scroll down and to the right to see all areas of both maps.
