I was looking at county maps, like Image:Alameda County.png and Image:LA County Incorporated Areas.svg. These don't seem to be as useful as the actual census maps[1], which show the names for the incorporated places. It would be nice to either post the Census maps, or nicer ones which do show place names. -- Beland 23:01, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
