Have you ever been teaching a history lesson when one of your children pipes up with a question. "Mom, is Carthage a city in Oregon or some other country?" Oh dear, you think to yourself and then calmly explain, "Honey, first of all, Oregon is a state, not a country. And Carthage no longer exists, but I think it was located on the northern tip of Africa across the Mediterranean Sea from Italy." After receiving two or more questions along this vein, you realize that you need some better resources.

Actually, you only need ONE!

Map Trek is a historical atlas plus outline maps that allow you to teach geography alongside history. This is a resource that any homeschool parent can use with brilliant success, even if you don't remember a thing from your history or geography classes in public school.

Now you can have hundreds of historical outline maps at your finger tips. Save yourself countless hours scouring the internet for the perfect printable map for your history lesson! Recommended by The Well-Trained Mind!

Grade Level: 1-12 grades

Page Count: 350 World + 235 American

"I got mine today! I love them! I love the convenience! My son loves them! Why didn't I order these earlier instead of spending hours scouring the internet for maps that didn't quite work?" - Sharon

Did you know?

It is a proven fact that using historical outline maps help cement historical and geographical facts for students and adults alike. Just knowing that Alexander the Great conquered the whole known world is simply not enough. Seeing this enormous ancient empire on paper gives visual and non-visual students an edge in their learning.

The truth is... most educators know this, but struggle to find the printable maps they are looking for. Now your search is over. Finally, Map Trek Historical Atlas and Outline Maps is now available as a set of six (6) beautiful full-color e-books for easy printing.

With Map Trek Historical Atlas and Outline Maps, you, as the teacher, can...

• Have over 465 World History Maps at your fingertips.
• Print them all or just the ones you need today.
• Print multiple copies for your family's use. (Schools, classrooms and co-ops can take advantage of our volume discounts or site license agreement.)
• Never worry about lesson plans for your historical outline maps. We've included them for you!
• Have different aged students working at their own ability. No more trying to stretch the lesson up or down.

With Map Trek Historical Atlas and Outline Maps, your students can...

• See the landscape (i.e. the political boundaries, major cities, etc.) from the historical time period - instead of what the region is like today.
• Label places of historical significance on their outline maps.
• Color in empires, trace travel routes, draw scales and directional symbols, etc.
• Maps don't have to be boring... Students should feel free to experiment with colored markers, pencils, paint and even glitter (this is optional, of course!)
• Finished maps can be posted to the bulletin board or refrigerator or placed in a history notebook.

Imagine... You will no longer have to search for the perfect map online. You will have it right on your computer! Here is everything that you will get when you purchase Map Trek: The Complete Collection:

• 276 Full-color teacher answer maps.
• 270 Blank outline maps for the student.
• Instructions for how to use these maps
• 15 Grid Maps
• 10 Blank Grids
• Lesson Plans
• Glossary of terms
• 3 Bonus Map Sets
• 650 total pages
• $55.00 (Save $30 over individual ebook purchases) 

Since these maps are chronological in sequence, you may use them easily with any chronological history program.  These maps are meant to enhance your current history program and make it even better. 

The full list of maps within each of the five sets included in the book and on the CD-ROM is listed further down the page.

Here is a Frequently Asked Question:

How is Map Trek different from your original Blackline Maps series?

Here is the answer:

Map Trek is basically the new and revised version of Blackline Maps (out of print). Here are some of the differences:

1. Map Trek has more maps - over 500 total in the book and on the CD-ROM. Blackline Maps of World History has 200.
2. There is more detail on the Map Trek maps, because they are intended for use up to 12th grade (Blackline Maps is for students 1-8).
3. Map Trek has lesson plans for students in grades 1-12, with 3 levels of difficulty.
4. Map Trek has full-color teacher answer maps; student maps are slightly shaded. Blackline Maps are black and white.
